I think we need more lesbian representation, especially more butch lesbians. I'm from an older generation and I was the same as you, a tomboy girl with no desire to marry a man later in life. Thinking about it now, I was lucky to have a bit of representation back then like Tatu (I know they were fake, but they became useful for me) or the L word so I know that there were girls like me somewhere. I'm a bit worried about newer generation because lesbians have been erased again. Butches have disappeared, they all are 'non-binary' or trans now, this is crazy. You can be a lesbian and a tomboy and there's nothing wrong, girls should learn that!

In all news lesbians are just represented as "queer women", like "lesbian" is a swear word or something.
