yes star trek is about exploring and hope and helping others and reaching out a hand even when you don’t think it’ll work, but ultimately star trek is about bisexuality
oh, it’s Star Trek day, I should watch a Star Trek
Get all your devices together and watch all of them at once.
Like that?
Yes. Excellent. Prepare for Ultimate Trek™.
It’s what Gene would have wanted
kind of wild to think how quickly technology has advanced that this photo would have been astounding during any era that these shows were on, including the last one.
If you really want to up the challenge rating, see how many of these screens you can get Jeffrey Combs on.
I do not have nearly enough screens to contain all of Jeffrey Combs
Explaining Star Trek to people is so fun because eventually I realize I’m just saying made up words, and then I end up explaining what Pon Farr is at 1 AM to my poor supportive friends. This cycle never ends.
- Dax: also trans. very on top of DS9 trans healthcare given the uh… amount of transitions she’s had
- Ben Sisko: great at pronouns by obligation to starfleet and personal interest in loving his pals. celebrates hormone anniversaries per crewmate comfort
- Quark: absolutely not great at pronouns, but you can hit him whenever you want because
- Odo: Has never had a problem with any pronouns ever. Finds pronoun acquisition interesting.
- Kira: Nonsequential two episode arc. First episode, would slip up on pronouns once and exactly once and have an episode long arc over it that ends with her dropkicking Quark. Second episode Kira Nerys zie/hir
- Nog: Deep Space Nine Pronoun Champion. do not ask me what this means
- Garak: Trying His Best
- O’Brien: does NOT understand what in the absolute fuck is happening
- Keiko: neopronoun user
- Picard: Is asked by O’Brien as to what exactly is happening. Unfortunately, is even worse at this whole pronoun thing and spends a few hours stewing over it in his ready room and recording the most regrettable Captain’s Log all while
- Data: Takes the opportunity to host a queer theory lecture to anyone who will stay on the bridge to listen.
- Spot the Cat: neopronoun user
- Geordi: trans. it’s on his resume
- Worf: Would unironically change someone’s pronouns to was/were
- Riker: similarly positive to Sisko but with even more dad energy, somehow
- Riker, cont: (leg swing chair sit) “hello they”
- Yar: trans
- Lwaxana Troi: Surprisingly extremely good at the pronouns. Or maybe not surprising at all, she’s all about personal expression
- Deanna Troi: Knows you’re trans before you do. The second you realize it for yourself you hear her go “FINALLY!! FUCKING FINALLY!!” from her quarters

Geordi’s VISOR leaves him in constant pain, as his nerves are overwhelmed by the artificial impulses. Riker suffered a spinal injury as a teenager, and stress makes the pain of the problem that never quite healed right worse. After a grueling mission, they reflect on pain, disability, and what it means for them both.
