<p>Unlike Bastila and Carth, Juhani is a canon gay character (meaning she is officially confirmed to be attracted to the same gender exclusively) and she has always been intended to be a lesbian, a woman who is exclusively attracted to women.

<p>Making Juhani a romance option for male characters cannot be compared to making Bastila and Carth same-gender romance options, because heterosexual people already get countless representations in media, including <cite>Star Wars</cite> and KotOR. Making heterosexual romance options like Batila and Carth available for same-gender romance options is out of desire for more LGBTQ+ representation, while making Juhani a romance option for male characters, including making Juhani bisexual, is erasing her lesbian sexuality and disrespecting lesbian representation.</p>
<p>As a lesbian myself, I utterly and firmly oppose the idea of making canon lesbian characters like Juhani romanceable by men (or canon gay male — as in, men who are exclusively attracted to men — characters romanceable by women), because it is very disrespectful for gay representation, especially consider the fact that Juhani is literally the only confirmed LGBTQ+ character in any KotOR game. Making canon lesbian characters like Juhani roanceable by men is also reminiscent of the real-life homophobic attitude that gay people's sexualities can be changed, which leads to <a href="https://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/policy/conversion-therapy-facts.pdf" target="_blank">“conversion therapy”</a>. Lesbians specifically are often discriminated and prejudiced against not only due to our same-gender attraction to women, but also our lack of attraction to men, to the extend there is a word for it: lesbophobia.</p>
<p>Alternate Revan Romances, and all my same-gender romance mods, are about adding more same-gender romance options, and not inherently about removing every gender restriction in romances without any thought or consideration. Ultimately, My reasons and motives for opposing changing Juhani's lesbian sexuality, and at the same time supporting making Bastila and Carth bi, are all about <strong>wanting more LGBTQ+ representation and respecting canon LGBTQ+ representation</strong>. It is not inherently about adhering to canon, but about respecting representation of marginalised groups like LGBTQ+ people.</p>
<p>Keeping canon gay chracters exclusive to same-gender romances, including keeping Juhani's romance exclusive to female chracters only, is a stance I am not going to change my mind on, so I would appreciate anyone not debating me on this.</p>

<h1>Keep Juhani a Lesbian and Keep Juhani's Romance Exclusive to Female Characters</h1>
<p class="center-text">Originally published on June 28, 2023</p>
<p>For those who do not know, Juhani is a character introduced in the video game <cite>Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic</cite> (<cite>KotOR</cite>), which was developed by BioWare. She is best known not only for being a lesbian and a romance option for female player characters, but also the very first confirmed gay character in both the Star Wars franchise and BioWare games.</p>
<p>Defending and protecting Juhani's status as a lesbian is a stance I will make no compromise on. It is my firm belief that <strong>Juhani should remain a lesbian and her romance should remain exclusive to female characters. I strongly and utterly oppose any attempt to make Juhani a romance option for male characters under <em>any</em> circumstances.</strong> In other words, I am completely against the idea of making Juhani straight or bisexual.</p>
<p>As a modder of the KotOR video game series, I also need to state that I will <strong><em>never</em></strong> make Juhani a romance option for male characters under <em>any</em> circumstances in any of my mods. I also do not support any mod that makes Juhani a romance option for male characters, including providing technical support or granting permission to make patches that try to make straight or bisexual Juhani mods compatible with my mods.</p>
<p>Some would ask me: why do you support and even make mods that make heterosexual characters gay, but against making gay characters heterosexual?</p>
<p>The answer is simple: Because <strong>I both want more LGBTQ+ representation and I believe the identities of officially confirmed LGBTQ+ characters should be respected and not be changed</strong>.</p>
<p>Unlike every other romance options in both <cite>KotOR</cite> games, Juhani is a canon gay character, which means she is officially confirmed to be attracted to the same gender exclusively, and she has always been intended to be a lesbian, a woman who is exclusively attracted to women. In fact, <a href="../articles/juhani-lesbian-evidence.html" target="_blank">the first <cite>KotOR</cite> game has gone out of its way to ensure ONLY female player characters can romance Juhani</a>.</p>
<p>As a lesbian myself, I utterly and firmly oppose the idea of making canon lesbian characters like Juhani being able to be romanced by men (or canon gay male — as in, men who are exclusively attracted to men — characters romanceable by women), because it is very disrespectful for gay representation, especially consider the fact that Juhani is literally the ONLY confirmed LGBTQ+ character in any <cite>KotOR</cite> game. Making canon lesbian characters like Juhani a romance option by men is also reminiscent of the real-life homophobic attitude that gay people's sexualities can be changed, which leads to <a href="https://www.apa.org/pi/lgbt/resources/policy/conversion-therapy-facts.pdf" target="_blank">“conversion therapy”</a>. </p>
<p>Lesbians specifically are often discriminated and prejudiced against due to both homophobia and misogyny. In fact, there is a word for describing the various forms of prejudice and negativity towards lesbians specifically: lesbophobia. We lesbians are often demonised as "not giving men a chance" for our exclusive attraction to women and lack of attraction to men. Yes, I do believe making confirmed lesbian characters like Juhani straight or bisexual is a form of lesbophobia.</p>
<p>Making Juhani a romance option for male characters cannot be compared to making heteroseual romance options like Bastila Shan and Carth Onasi gay or bisexual, because cisgender heterosexual people already get countless representations in media, including <cite>Star Wars</cite> and <cite>KotOR</cite>. Keep in mind that <strong>LGBTQ+ people already have to see countless pieces of mainstream media filled with cisgender and heterosexual characters without a single LGBTQ+ character even existing</strong>. Making heterosexual romance options like Batila and Carth available for same-gender romance options is out of desire for more LGBTQ+ representation, while making Juhani a romance option for male characters, including making Juhani bisexual, is erasing her lesbian sexuality and disrespecting lesbian representation.</p>
<p>All my same-gender romance mods are about adding more same-gender romance options, and not inherently about removing every gender restriction in romances without any thought or consideration. Ultimately, My reasons and motives for opposing changing Juhani's lesbian orientation, and at the same time supporting making heterosexual romance options like Bastila and Carth bisexual, are all about wanting more LGBTQ+ representation and respecting canon LGBTQ+ representation. It is not inherently about adhering to canon, but about respecting representation of marginalised groups like LGBTQ+ people.</p>
<p>Keeping canon gay chracters exclusive to same-gender romances, including keeping Juhani's romance exclusive to female chracters only, is a stance I am not going to change my mind on, so I would appreciate anyone not debating me on this.</p>
