HI YES HELLO I AM ACTUALLY CRYING A LITTLE BIT......TRANS AND NON BINARY REP IN STAR TREK? WITH ACTUAL TRANS AND NON BINARY ACTORS???? FINALLY....SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE BOTCHED ATTEMPTS OF & #39;THE OUTCAST& #39; AND & #39;COGENITOR& #39; I AM WEEEEEPPPIIIIING
TRANS WORMS TRANS WORMS TRANS WORMS IN SPAAAAAACE
On a serious note, though, this is really important, and it means a lot to so many of us. Star Trek has been such a constant comfort to me throughout my life, but even in a show that is built on celebrating the diversity of the universe, I& #39;ve never really seen myself in it.
Representation, and the chance to see yourself reflected in a media that is such a core part of your identity, is so validating and assuring. I didn& #39;t think I& #39;d ever get to see it. So, thank you @startrekcbs for making this a reality.
It is SO important that Star Trek - and the fandom large - recognise, accept, and celebrate the fact that Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations includes trans people. It includes BIPOC. It includes LGB people. It includes all of us, and that& #39;s what makes Trek so special
This is a very convoluted way to say: I love star trek, I love my trans family, and I sure as hell love seeing our vibrant and resilient community finally represented on screen.
