This research analyzes the translation of the sexual dissidences from two characters in the compilation volume The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For by Alison Bechdel (2008) and its Spanish version, Lo indispensable de unas lesbianas de cuidado (Bechdel, 2014), translated by Rocío de la Maya. Clarice Clifford and Toni Ortiz are recurring characters whose representation allow to explore lesbian identity, and the dynamics of gender roles and sexual desire in a relationship. The specific corpus constructed from the panels featuring these characters was studied through multimodal content analysis to identify how sexual dissidences were represented in the source text. Subsequently, through a contrastive analysis, the effects of morphosyntactic, semantic, and pragmatic changes on the representation of the characters in the target text were evaluated. The results of the analysis suggest that the representation of the intersectional identity and the conflicted stance towards hegemonic values in a romantic relationship change in two aspects in the target text: (a) through syntactic changes, motherhood is represented as a possessive emotional bond, and through devices such as irony, lesbian identity is emphasized as a determinant identity trait for domination, subordination, and equality in relationships; and (b) through syntactic and semantic changes, sexual desire is reaffirmed along with monogamy and dissatisfaction due to the priorities established by gender roles.
