Alright, I know this dude looks totally ridiculous because that uniform is NOT complimentary to his body type, but as goofy as it looks, this was supposed to show that in the Federation, traditional gender roles don’t really exist, and that sexual or gender identification is not an issue anymore. This one shot established that in the future promised to us by Star Trek, people truly are judged by their actions and accomplishments, not by their race, religion, gender/sexual orientation, or anything else. And the best part about this is that it is only one of an uncountable number of similarly ballsy, progressive statements made by Star Trek over the years. There’s a reason this franchise means so damn much to me, and that reason can be found in things like this. No matter how goofy some of the stuff in the shows or movies are, Star Trek and it’s themes and messages have made and will continue to make the world a better place. And that is amazing.
