Yes, because trans people are hugely discriminated against, trans men are basically invisible, and high profile trans people existing at all is huge, both as a role model to other trans people and as a Hey Yeah We Real gently caress You to the phobes.

I can't argue with that. I should probably have said "I wish we lived in a non-hellworld dimension where we could say 'who cares'"

It's depressing that I just know they don't actually stand for any of those things without even looking it up

My ex girlfriend went there before transferring to a better university because she got a scholarship, she said it was exactly what you'd imagine a cult university to be - no one gave a gently caress about the cult and were only there to party and sleep through history lectures in the morning.

Absolutely this. Good job GBS, good job mods! I am happy field a million questions from people to whom trans stuff is new to, and I encourage it. I will explain what 'cis' and other trans terms all day long when they're coming from people who genuinely don't know, and would like to. I don't care how dumb you think the question is, if you're asking because you're confused and would like to not be, fuckin ask away.

What do you think of casual general gendered pronoun usage like “hey what’s up guys” or “what’s happenin dudes” when the people someone is talking to aren’t all men

Yeah those can gently caress off too, what a waste of time, just let all pronouns be something simple like “la” or something and self referencing just be “mi”, or whatever

It’s hard to believe that natural human laziness didn’t consolidate those gendered Romance language rules into more simple stuff centuries ago

I really wish English had some kind of nongendered specifically singular pronoun that wasn’t they

I know there are some people who have used xhe but it would be nice if there was something more pronouncable

Again I’m surprised human laziness didn’t consolidate he/she into one word long ago

if that discovery scene had been done in tng some alien of the week would have misgendered them, gotten all huffy when corrected, and then picard would have given a speech explaining how humanity had moved past all that intolerant bullshit centuries ago

Well then have I got the episode for YOU!

Yeah the overarching theme of that TNG episode I think was "don't gently caress with these people's thing because that's their call and not yours" which is kind of a positive thing in general but the whole forced conversion therapy thing was gross, but still kind of the right call in the end because hey that's the prime directive. Still, for the time it was a pretty interesting episode concept even if they probably didn't go far enough in exploring the consequences.

If you want a really bad episode with a similar theme, The Orville had a child sex reassignment episode but they completely bungled the whole thing

That's pretty interesting because I read it as "conversion therapy bad". Like while Picard is the moral center of the show, we see the entire episode framed from Riker's perspective.

I think the episode was bungled in that aspect. They kind of were trying to say "we have to respect every individual civilization's own culture and stuff" but you can't really do that when the civilization doesn't respect its own people's individuality. It's a sort of catch-22.

Also, Riker gives Troi a full on lip-smooch after he tells her he's wanting to date Soren, which is like yo what, who does that

edit: This speech was pretty good though
