#AllStarTrek I love me some #StarTrek but for Pity's sake, #Worf and #Dax are of two separate species from completely different biomes. How the heck are they supposed to successfully mate? It's ridiculous!
I'm glad I switched over to using this place more, feels like Twitter is having so many issues these days it's something to laugh at when it does go down.
There are some characters in Star Trek, with whom trans people can identify, like Dax or Seven of Nine. And of course, there has been actual trans representation more recently.
But I just realised, how much trans there is in the story of Worf. He grew up amongst humans, not fitting in. Then he lived his life unapologetically as a Klingon, just to find other Klingons not always accepting him, because he could not help, but show subtle human-like behaviours. And then he just stopped trying to fit others expectations. I hope he's happy now.
One of my friends is a Monsignor in the Catholic Church. He recently sent me this. (And yes, the meme should say "St. Augustine" who was indeed African.)
