I was first introduced to The L Word at age 13 when I stumbled across a fan edit of some bedroom scene on YouTube. One minute into the video, I quickly shut my laptop and said to myself, “We are going to deal with that later.” Years later, in college, I finally underwent that particular reckoning and found that Judith Butler wasn’t giving me much actionable dating advice.
