Willow’s win is a testament to the way representation, and our first encounters with it, imprints upon a person. There’s something unshakeable about our connections to the first time we see ourselves. It’s deeper than just nostalgia.

This week I am six months on testosterone, which means that currently and chemically, I am both a 30 year-old lesbian and a 13 year-old boy.

We’re down to just two contenders for the TV icon crown! Willow Rosenberg of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Santana Lopez of Glee. In the last round, Willow and Santana’s finished with nearly identical vote totals. This truly is anyone’s game.

From Grey’s Anatomy to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to The L Word to “San Junipero” on repeat, this is what can reasonably be deduced about your mental health at this time based on the gay TV show you’re currently re-watching.
