I don\\\'t understand this trope at all. So every story depicting lesbians should also address the social implications of homosexuality? This is especially strange when depicting single-gender societies, where same-sex relationships would be nothing out of the ordinary since .. well .. \\\'\\\'there is only one gender\\\'\\\'. It could actually be seen as a statement to treat such a society as fairly ordinary.
I am especially baffled about the inclusion of \\\'\\\'Manga/KashimashiGirlMeetsGirl\\\'\\\'. Hazumu becomes a girl, remains a girl and falls in love \\\'\\\'with two girls\\\'\\\'. There\\\'s nothing \\\"discount\\\" about it whatsoever. The Arume in \\\'\\\'Manga/BlueDrop\\\'\\\' are also unapologetically attracted to females, even though they could potentially choose males as well--which eventually even turns out to be their main purpose for coming to earth in the first place.
So I feel that either this page has to be rewritten to depict only instances where it is clear beyond reasonable doubt that some form of \\\"stand-in\\\" has been used for a lesbian character, or it just has to go. As it is now it only serves to diminish perfectly valid works of fiction.
