You're reminding me of the glorious insanity that was TNG Season 8:

Anyone following the Script Doctor episode analyses for STD/Trek and Morty?

His STD videos are pretty good. I don't know about his Pickle Trek reviews/analysis since I don't watch the show. I agree with RMB about Pickle Trek, it's another post-modern take on Trek, instead of a destruction deconstruction like Kurtzman Trek it's just writers who rely too much on the pop culture version of Trek.

Evidently this was prompted because the actress decided to come out as non-binary during filming of the show, so of course the writers had to indulge a mentally ill teenager by writing it into their multi-million dollar fiction production.
 
Didn't stamitz (however you spell it) use to be an asshole? The scene would have been worth it if partway through the rambling "they section" he cut her off with "I'm sorry, I don't care."

Remember the Pale moonlight? Remember how the entire conclusion was "what do your feelings matter to the fate of the galaxy?" Hard to believe in STD that much of anything is at stake if everybody can take breaks to discuss their feelings. "Oh sure the galaxy is about to be destroyed but let's pause a moment to talk about how you feel."

Isn't it more likely that they included this cringey bullshit in their show on purpose and picked up an actress that fit the demand of being genderspecial?

I was actually expecting Stamets to say "I don't care" or "what?", instead he was just there, silent.
The whole thing between the gay couple and the non-binary teenager is really creepy.

She was already "non binary" before they casted her. Her character and the tranny trill only exist because they're tokens for their diversity checklist.

You're right, the role was "non binary" to start with. The "coming out" bit instead of having her be "non binary" right off the bat was the part they did to accommodate her.

Blu del Barrio on Playing 'Star Trek's First Non-Binary Character

The newcomer talks to ET about getting cast in the CBS All Access series and being guided by Wilson Cruz and Anthony Rapp.

What I love about your character's introduction is that we don't find out that Adira is non-binary right off the bat. It isn't even part of a conversation really. Was that important for you?

Yeah, that was really important for me. I care a lot about an accurate representation of Adira and trans representation, especially. Because I wasn't yet fully out to a lot of my family and some of my friends still, I didn't feel comfortable right off the bat having everyone use they/them pronouns for Adira because I wasn't out to everyone yet. So I wanted to wait until really I was, until I was in a place where I could talk to my family and my friends and tell them who I was. At that point I could then feel that this is now an accurate way for me to represent Adira onscreen as well because I'm there too. I didn't want to rush it. I didn't want to put pressure on myself. I just wanted it to be as honest as possible because there are so few trans characters onscreen and I wanted to make this character as transparent to my own experience as possible because we don't see a lot of trans characters onscreen who are questioning, who are maybe not completely out talking to everyone about how they're feeling about themselves. There's so much pressure in the media for us to be 100 percent confident and really sure about ourselves so that people watching the shows don't question us. But there are so many people who struggle with their identity and I wanted to at least have one character onscreen do that. Be able to see someone go from keeping everything inside to them sharing because that's what everyone has to do

Stay tuned for Picard Season 2: JL fucks a tranny...

Honestly Sisko is best captain and I feel it is a bonus we see him rise from Commander to Captain and it is really earned. The Constellation and Class D Enterprise might be classic, but the Defiant class is my favorite too.
 
Don't the J'naii count as nonbinary?

And we'll never see these holo pornographers ever again:

In fairness TNG, VOY and to a much lesser extent early pre-DW DS9 abuse TF out of the "talking is a free action," "surprised pikachuface, talking is not a free action" and "good is dumb" tropes. Granted all of mainstream sci-fi does this to advance the plot to varying degrees.

But they also knew when to not abuse it.

Hm. I guess that episode is anti-trans now eh?

The J'naii don't have biological sex. To be nonbinary, you have to have a biological sex but don't identify with it, or with the opposite sex. The J'naii equivalent of nonbinary would be someone who identifies as one of the sexes, like Soren. And they fixed Soren, which they should do to Adira.

I like to think James T Kirk would have bitch slapped any gender fluid special snowflakes he found on his crew like he was George Patton.

He would have said "they? Them? I'm a man, and you're a woman" and the camera would zoom in on the suddenly more feminine genderspecial with that soft focus filter while romantic music plays.
