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.
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.
