We all know "representation matters", but i feel like we don't talk about how important can it be. Because, i gotta be honest: i probably would have never - or it would have taken me much longer - to realise i was attracted to women, if it wasn't for the representation i saw.
This feels a little problematic to say, because it kind of sounds like i'm saying that seeing wlw representation turned me into a lesbian, which is not possible of course. What i'm trying to tell is, yeah, i've always thought girls were prettier than boys, i've always randomly picked a male classmate to be my crush, i've always said that i did not want to get married or have kids (with a man)...But, despite all this, i didn't figure out i was lesbian.
Even despite the fact i've never felt romantic, and let alone sexual attraction, for any guy i've met, i did not figure out i was lesbian.
And it's not that i didn't know about lesbians or gays, because i did know they existed (for a certain period of time i was even slightly homophobic lmao), it's just nobody had ever shown me an actual alternative to heterosexuality. The moment i was exposed to wlw/lesbian representation, i knew that was what i wanted in my life, without a doubt. I was a bit surprised, but honestly i do not even remember being scared about it, because the fact i had always liked women was suddently so clear and so natural that i was like "yeah, sure, it makes so much sense".
I feel like this is the reason why nowadays people are discovering to be queer earlier than ever before, and it's not because the internet is infecting them with the gay or something, but because they get much more representation than any past generation.
For someone is easier to figure out they are gay, some people i know say they've always known, since a very young age, and that's awesome. But, yk, most people don't even know being gay is an option, and even if they do, they can't begin to imagine how that would be and how would that make them feel.
I think parents and istitutions and everyone should make an effort to increase representation, and to spread information and not misinformation, because it may be important to young queers like it was important to me.
I feel like most straight/cis people underestimate it, but i actually cried for a good ten minutes, when i saw my "sexual awakening", the character who helped me figure myself out more than any other, ending up married to another woman.
And she is that character, in case anyone is wondering.
Please keep in mind I don't know most of the ships/couples in the preliminary round. If you think something doesn't belong in this poll, vote that couple/ship out & please be civil!
