But giving money to charity isn't evil just because you're not giving it specifically to the PoV character's company. And it's not "stealing your girlfriend" if your girlfriend already broke up with you, because you cheated on her. In Season 3, Helena quickly makes the transition to full-fledged protagonist, a status she maintains for the rest of the series.

Bette resists the demand to identify solely as black by a black woman she meets too, remarking how that's based on the racist One-Drop Rule, but points out she never tries to pass as white either, as noted above. Further, she requests that her wife Tina conceive their daughter with a black donor, which is agreed to, thus continuing her mixed heritage.

She's also known for making even straight celebrities feel the urge to experiment a little, so perhaps the portrayal isn't that unrealistic.

The L Word / int_56766569	comment	Token Religious Teammate: Jenny was Jewish and Bette is a Buddhist, but it didn't come up a lot. The issue of religion within the LGBT+ community is raised and discussed in Generation Q, which introduced the recurring character Rebecca Dowery, who briefly sees new main character Finley who's thrown after learning she's a minister. Rebecca, it turns out, is with the Los Angeles MCC (Multicultural Community Churchnote A clear fictional counterpart for the real Metropolitan Community Church), an LGBT+ affirming denomination. She notes that she's much more closeted about being a Christian than queer as many LGBT+ people have very painful histories with Christianity (like Finley, who'd been raised Catholic and kicked out by her parents). After realizing that Finley is deeling with deep-seated issues over this and can't see religious people (let alone clergy) without anxiety over them, Rebecca breaks things off, expressing her hope that she'll work through them and maybe find another faith in the future.

The L Word / int_5679208c	type	No Bisexuals
The L Word / int_5679208c	comment	No Bisexuals: At the end of season 1 Jenny (who earlier in the season was torn between her long-time male partner and the first woman she was attracted to) is involved at the same time with both a man and a woman. Both of them are aware of the other and it seems to be shaping up into an interesting poly relationship. However the writers seem to have decided not to pursue the the possibilities of this storyline and Season 2 begins with the guy breaking up with her because she's clearly more interested in women (later on, Jenny's sexuality gets complex again when she is dating a transgender man in the process of transitioning; before long, Jenny's broken up with him on the basis that she's only attracted to women). Alice identified as bisexual and dated both men and women up through season 2. After that the writers quietly dropped this and by the end of the series she was identifying as a lesbian. Tina gets attracted to men in Season 3 and begins a relationship with one, which is mostly treated as her "changing sides" or "going straight" rather than bisexual. In regards to them and other characters, lesbians show skepticism that bisexuality exists on more than one occasion. Alice's bisexuality comes back into focus during Generation Q, when she's attracted to Tom and starts a relationship with him. This is after years of identifying as a lesbian with only same-sex-relationships. She's unhappy at knowing she'll have to essentially come out again, complaining about lesbians disbelieving that bisexuals even exist and afraid of the reaction her many fans will have (Alice heads up a lesbian-oriented talk show). It's implied that she's largely attracted to women and just found it easier identifying as a lesbian.

It's discussed by her and Bette (who feel's Ivan's a Butch Lesbian). Kit says Ivan's said they're "more of a man" so she's willing to explore a relationship. It doesn't work out though. Mark's fascination with Shane obviously includes lust. His friend notes that it's hopeless since she's a lesbian. Helena's affection for Dylan in Season 3 appeared to be unrequited because of this, but as the season progressed the situation proved to be a lot more complicated than that. Season 5 introduced Molly, the one straight girl on the planet who won't go gay for Shane...until she does. A rare variant with Jenny and Max, who is unable to accept him being a trans man since she's a lesbian and Max is technically a straight man.

He finally realized this and broke off their engagement, wanting Tonya to be happy by embracing her true self. It's this which gets Dana's parents to accept their relationship. Tina helping Bette get (and stay) back together with Jodi in Seasons 4-5. She wins in the end, though. Shane chasing Molly away at the end of Season 5. A particularly tragic example, since she was one of only two women Shane had ever really loved. Also, unlike Carmen Molly actually accepted Shane for who she was. Alice recognizes her girlfriend Tasha is attracted to Jamie. She doesn't want to keep Tasha with her if she'd prefer Jamie, though it's unresolved during the series. Later she is with someone else in Generation Q, the Sequel Series, thus clearly they broke up at some point though (whether or not Tasha went with Jamie). Alice then goes even further in Generation Q, becoming a throuple briefly with her girlfriend Nat and Nat's ex-wife as they have a lingering attraction, but doesn't like it. Nat realizes this, and goes back to having their old relationship, moved by how much Alice would do for her.

Alice gives a long (and funny) one to Gabby where she strings together all the serious things her friends told her to say ... and then concludes it by saying "Step off, bitch!"

The L Word / int_b53ba00f	comment	Easy Sex Change: Averted with trans man Max (Moira formerly). The characterization was generally pretty awful, and much of the actual science was off - being on testosterone for as long as he'd been, it would be damn near impossible to get pregnant, even with no birth control methods being used; also, "roid rage" is a myth, and as such couldn't possibly be exacerbated by having testosterone obtained illegally. Non-prescribed testosterone's risks are vastly associated with the substance either being doctored or effectively "overdosing" - after a certain point, testosterone reaches maximum saturation in the body and the remainder is converted into estrogen, which is why non-trans bodybuilders using it can experience shrinking of testicles and breast growth. But he did hold a benefit to pay for his chest surgery (breast reduction/chest masculinization), which meant he couldn't afford even the more basic and less expensive of the "sex change" surgeries. Just FTM chest surgery ranges run about $8k in reality, not including travel, time off work, etc.

A couple of the new supporting characters work there with her. Mostly they're vanilla, though on special occasions they have wild music and drag performances.

After walking in on his so-called friend fucking his fiancÃ©e, he acted like a huge jerk. But most people would consider that a reasonable response. And even at his worst, while standing next to Jenny, the woman who spent half a season deceiving, manipulating, humiliating and cuckolding him during her journey of sexual self-discovery, he looked like a saint. In Seasons 3-4, Angus played this trope ridiculously straight. But when he finally did fall off his pedestal, he fell hard. Sunset Boulevard is not only a straight guy, but he's also probably the only genuinely decent man Kit has ever dated.

The L Word / int_fed93e1b	comment	Dark and Troubled Past: Jenny was always a bit off, but it doesn't get explained in detail until season 2. She was gang raped by boys as a kid, and her parents chose to ignore it instead of helping her, allowing it to "fester into this psychosis" as she puts it. She makes the best of it later though-her autobiographical book about it puts her into the spotlight that allows her to write a serialized novel, Lez Girls, and make it into a movie. Shane's dark past is not focused on as much, but is still mentioned. In Seasons 1-2, we learn that she was once forced to work as a (pretending-to-be-male) prostitute, that she was essentially abandoned by her parents, has various drug addictions, etc. These events are strongly implied to be the reason she is such a loyal friend, but terrible with relationships/commitment - she feels the need to please others, is satisfied with very little for herself, but is afraid to commit to anyone or anything. The later seasons continue to add other heartbreaking details - Shane is thrilled to simply have her own, tiny little room because she's apparently never had her own before. (In Season 6, Jenny, of course, promptly converts Shane's room into a study one day when Shane is out, assuming that since they're now sleeping together, she'll just move into Jenny's room with her!)
