Tired: gender is a spectrum

Inspired: gender is a continuum

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

-- and the q continuum is a continuum within a continuum; infinite infinities. lol

Jadzia is a more obvious choice for B than Julian but admittedly it's kinda hard to figure out a solid L representative

[-] someone@hexbear.net 7 points 1 week ago

admittedly it's kinda hard to figure out a solid L representative

Got you covered.

I consulted with a real-world L about this option and she said, and I quote, "fucking fuck yes!" when I asked, so I take that as an official endorsement from the L community.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

Oh shit! Nailed it. Also absolute awooga

[-] someone@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I like to think that Nicole de Boer just showed up one morning to makeup looking like that and they decided to roll with it. If I saw someone wearing that in the street at any point in the last fifty years, I wouldn't bat an eye, it feels so timeless.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Ezri should have replaced Jadzia several seasons earlier. One, so that Terry didn't have to suffer as much from sex pests. Two, because Ezri is a far more interesting character.

i was racking my brain trying to figure out where the "l" came from until you put together "l representative" and the episode "rejoined" popped back into my head. lol

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 5 points 1 week ago

Oh, lower case L. I was seeing upper case i for a while there. Rejoined is on the table there, but she also married Worf and was shown to be into a decent amount of dudes as well as women (implied by the show and confirmed by headcannon of the masses). She kisses another woman on screen so I guess it's the best we've got do far, which is pretty shitty.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

which is pretty shitty

whole heartedly agreed; that episode plus the outcast from tng were murky at best and i'm glad that new era of star trek has made up for it since it's better late than never.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I can't think of a current trek lesbian either. We got bi but I haven't seen any leabians.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

fwiw: i know that mariner in lower decks dated a andorian woman; but i can't remember if there's any mention of her being bi or any man.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago

She's bi. She has been shown to be turned on by Ransom from time to time and a few other hetero instances.

[-] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Also, she specifically says her "type" is bad boys, bad girls, bad non-binary babes, bad Bynars, and ruthless alien masterminds.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

ransom?! really? which episode(s)?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I think there's a couple occasions where he does a kirk speech and she's turned on by it

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

now i know you're fucking with me. lol

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago
[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

now i'm going to have to binge watch the series again to find this.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago
[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

why is your comment blank?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

I sent a gif. Probably doesn't work cause you aren't hexbear

[-] someone@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

Lower Decks is doing this very interesting thing where we get to know Starfleet officers' flaws before we get to know their strengths. That's not really been a thing in prior Trek series.

[-] someone@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

First season, third episode, starting about 2/3rds in.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago
[-] someone@hexbear.net 2 points 1 week ago

At least Trek was almost always (cough "Code of Honor" cough) good on racial issues, which I think laid solid groundwork for encouraging compassion in stories in general.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

i feel like lower decks pushes this compassion to a new level each time they bait and switch with a story that seems like it would be drama, but ends up being a fun silly nothing-burger.

the one with rutherford stressing out about how he's going to disappoint all the department chairs; but each one ends up being completely encouraging in his decision after hamming up all the drama about the disappointment comes to mind.

[-] buckykat@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Mariner had a whole relationship with another woman on screen but she's also been shown to be into dudes as well.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

do you know which episode(s)?

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

A whole relationship onscreen is giving it a bit too much credit since her and Jenn were kind of a background thing thar came up a couple times before they broke up and it was brought up again in a recent episode that I don't care for how it was handled.

[-] HiImThomasPynchon@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Is Q actually Q tho?

I mean yeah he's got a flair for costumes and theatrics but there's plenty straightfolx who also do that.

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Bit idea: We redefine the Q in LGBTQ+ to stand for Q, and queerness is directly related to how much you act like Q

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 week ago

does trelane count? cuz i would love to be like trelane. lol

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

maybe he's also questioning like the "q" stands for. lol

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 week ago

is data++ is references to the old geek code from decades ago?

[-] someone@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

I've been thinking about what sort of utterly frivolous nonsense I could do for my next self-teaching coding project. A geek code reader/writer sounds suitably stupid.

[-] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

and it gets extra stupid when you take into account that people stopped using them over a decade ago. lol

but then again, i literally got paid to create an article on how to use a tool that we're supposed to already know how to use at my job today; so why not?

[-] propter_hog@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago

Jadzia should have been the image for trans, or perhaps Lal.

[-] OgdenTO@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

Ladzia Garak Bashir Tsoren Q +Data

At first I thought all their names lined up until I actually remembered Jadzia's name
