I must agree. Sure, it could be a stereotype—both being a lesbian and being a police officer are considered manly things—but the combination itself doesn't seem trope-worthy.

Yeah, no arguments here.

If I'm not mistaken, this has been on TRS before. That said, the concept of a character being both a lesbian and a police officer sounds incidental, rather than being a naturally occurring trope, so maybe it would be worth taking to TRS again.

Yeah, it doesn't sound any more like a naturally occurring trope than Five Bad Band or Heroic Albino were.

Lesbian Cop was in TRS, but the TRS died. One thing that was brought up was splitting it into both "Cops tend to be tomboys" and "Women in traditionally masculine careers are portrayed as lesbian". I previously drafted a TLP about career paths that are associated wifh tomboys, but it's been stuck in limbo.

Is there any reason that Lesbian Cop wasn't cut outright? The examples list doesn't seem like it has much (if anything) of value, since it was doomed to be a ZCE magnet from the start.
