So far it seems like this episode isn't really about trans people at all like everyone expected, they're making it more about cultural relativism with a side of misogyny. I'm not sure how I feel about them broaching a controversial social issue and then not really discussing it at all, but on the other hand, you could see it as "in the future, transgenderism isn't controversial at all," which is a bit more hopeful of a note.

MillennialVulcan posted:It feels like it's being sensitive but I'm not trans. Also it feels like the situation is inverted in such a way that it's completely unrelated to an adult who wants to transition? This is really more relevant to the practice of doing surgery on babies who were born intersex imo.

Calling my shot, things ratchet up, we have a big diplomatic standoff with admirals ordering the Orville to comply, and then.... ... sudden scientific breakthrough by.... someone. Some huge problem with the Maclin (sp?) race that has been getting worse and worse over the generations is traced to the systematic elimination of the female gender.

The only thing I want out of this show is for someone to get called a dick at least once per episode. I didn't realize how much calling someone an rear end in a top hat was missing from Star Trek until this show.

OK, I see where this is going. A planet run exclusively by dudes sucks. They need a female perspective.
