[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|A female police officer who is a homosexual.]]
 
This trope, of course, can be open to [[Unfortunate Implications]]; namely, the idea that certain activities and occupations are 'reserved' for men and that any women who choose to partake in them are automatically more 'masculine' (and [[Butch Lesbian|thus in turn inclined to homosexuality]]) than those who don't. There is an element of [[Truth in Television]], as naturally some of the women in these occupations (now that they allow women) are lesbians; but this doesn't equal that ''all'' lesbians are in traditionally 'male' occupations or that no straight women are.

== Anime and Manga ==
* ''[[Bleach (Manga)|Bleach]]'': Depending on your interpretation of her character, Soi Fon may qualify as this; given her position as head of the Keigun (punishment squad) and her [[Les Yay]] obsession with Yoruichi. Mind you, this is more apparent in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAnJzdINUDY the anime] than it is in the manga, [http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/140/yoruichisoifonengvm1.png/ but still...]
* The sheriff in the second volume of ''[[Dogby Walks Alone (Manga)|Dogby Walks Alone]]''.
 
 
Line 48:
* ''[[Roseanne]]'': Roseanne's sister Jackie was a police officer, but while she wasn't a lesbian in the show, {{spoiler|Roseanne reveals in the final episode that the series was a book she was writing based on her family and that her sister actually is a lesbian}}.
* On ''[[Lip Service]]'', essentially BBC's answer to ''[[The L Word]]'', Sam is a soft butch example of this trope.
* Mo Connell from ''[[Between the Lines (TV series)|Between the Lines]]'' is introduced as a lesbian, although it later turns out, in reverse of the normal pattern, that she's [[Bi the Way]].
 
 
Line 60:
 
== Western Animation ==
* Maggie Sawyer in ''[[Superman: theThe Animated Series]]'' has the same sexual orientation as her comicbook counterpart, according to [[Word of God]], [[Hide Your Lesbians|although the closest they could get to referencing Maggie being gay on-screen]] was to have her girlfriend be at her bedside when she was in hospital during the first [[Darkseid]] story. She goes unnamed, and their relationship isn't elaborated on, but she's there. She's also present, comforting Maggie, after {{spoiler|Dan Turpin dies}}.
