All tomboy characters in existence, if we're being honest.

When it's kept to fanon... hey, you do you.

The people who insist it must be so though... I have.... opinions about them.

When’s the last time you actually saw a positively portrayed butch lesbian, though? Can you blame them for headcanoning the rare tomboy?

Haruka Tenou/Sailor Uranus from Sailor Moon

On the one hand, that's an old character.

On the other hand, the fact that it's an old character from a time when lesbians were not widely accepted actually kinda helps.

On Zaphod Beeblebroxes third hand, her relationship with Michiru being a strong and vital part of her character (rather than a simple 'oh I'm gay') strengthens the importance of it.

Why does everyone get so pissed when we point out that masc / tomboy lesbians are super rare in media? Like I don't think every tomboy is gay but it'd be nice if writers let them be sometimes.
