This… this isn’t the same thing… Jadzia Dax is a Trill, not f-ing transgender, huge difference. She has a simbiont named Dax, neither male nor female. The Trill is only the gender of the host. It didn’t change gender/sex. It changed the host body only.
I do not like Star Trek being used to try to support political agendas like this.
This post isn’t even saying she is trans or that there was any connection to anything irl, just a way to point out how simple it should be to give someone respect. It’s also not a political agenda being supported, it’s basic decency.
And why tf does it matter which Trek was someone’s first? I wasn’t born in the 50s so I didn’t start with the original series. It’s been going on for decades, people can start wherever.
Sounds like you missed the whole fucking point of the show runners writing that character in this way and either need to completely step away from Trek completely as a fan or rewatch the fucking show, you ignorant dumbass
My first series was TOS when TOS and TAS were the only Star Trek TV shows. The same TOS that had a bridge crew of mixed genders and ethnicities, the same TOS that taught me values like equality and compassion and talking things out before fighting. The same TOS that criticized the cold war, the Vietnam war, racism, genocide… TOS even addressed the idea of non-standard romantic relationships. In the episode Metamorphosis, the main character has a relationship with an alien who he thinks is a woman but is actually a non-corporeal cloud. When he discovers the truth, he comes to accept it and stay with the alien on the remote planet where he lives.
Which… kind of sounds like accepting people for who they are and even loving them, even if they are not in the body they were born with.
You’re the fucking asshole here being transphobic, thinking you can misinterpret a pro-trans character into it being something else entirely. How in the actual hell do you think this scene was supposed to be fucking interpreted by someone with half a brain, you moronic prick?
If this isn’t sarcasm I’m really sorry for this person.
A core value of scifi is re-contextulizing real life moral, ethical and social situations into fantastical settings where we can look at them without all the baggage.
Here’s the thing. Trill aren’t real. The whole thing is made up… but it is a great example how someones outside appearance and personality can change… even a major part of their biological makeup… But they are still THEM.

Let me ask, which trek series was your first? Probably Enterprise if I had to guess.

Wrong. Guess again.
I’d say Voyager, but I do think ds9 makes more sense in the context of all this.
Wrong again, dipshit. Keep guessing.
Fuck off ass hole

Lol. Oh, sorry, I’ve already been dealing with retards all day, so, pardon me, but I’ve reached my brain washed idiot quota. Also, get stuffed loser.

it’s called allegory and it’s everywhere in scifi
Star Trek has always been political though?
fuck off then
