    I love how this perfectly models how to handle misgendering / accidental deadnaming as well. Just a quick correction, adjusting, and moving on. No cis fragility or hand-holding.

    To be clear, the dynamic is obviously different if the person keeps misgendering / deadnaming. The correct response then is:

    @Goadstool shoutout for naming your wonderful game after a warrior with honor

    Edit: I know that’s not where you got the name, I just really enjoyed your game. ☺️

    I'd love it if Discovery had an actual trans character. Can you imagine how good the gender-affirming surgeries would be in the 23rd century? Like, Trek has already established they can do whatever they want to a human body.

    I always loved this scene, but it’s so much more powerful after I realized I was trans.

    Dax remains one of the strongest representations of the trans experience for me personally in media. I should dig around and see what kind of video essays / writing has been done on that.
