I love how this perfectly models how to handle misgendering / accidental deadnaming as well. Just a quick correction, adjusting, and moving on. No cis fragility or hand-holding.
To be clear, the dynamic is obviously different if the person keeps misgendering / deadnaming. The correct response then is:
:stfu-terf: :gui-trans: :terf-alert:
so we're all gonna murder sisko for calling jadzia old man all the time :meow-knife-trans:
@Goadstool shoutout for naming your wonderful game after a warrior with honor
Edit: I know that’s not where you got the name, I just really enjoyed your game. ☺️

Dahar Master Kor died a warrior's death, and we honor his sacrifice - for like all true warriors, he saw through the surface and directly into the hearts of enemies and comrades alike
I'd love it if Discovery had an actual trans character. Can you imagine how good the gender-affirming surgeries would be in the 23rd century? Like, Trek has already established they can do whatever they want to a human body.
I always loved this scene, but it’s so much more powerful after I realized I was trans.
Dax remains one of the strongest representations of the trans experience for me personally in media. I should dig around and see what kind of video essays / writing has been done on that.
