Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about.
Kirk@startrek.website 4 days agoI mean where is it reflected in canon that Adira was “afraid” to come out, keeping their gender a “secret”, or otherwise had to “work up courage”?
As far as I know, the ONLY time it’s mentioned is the very short line of dialogue in my original comment. I’m struggling to see how it could be considered as any LESS of a “big deal”. Certainly not “yelling from the rooftops”.

I quoted the show. Season 3, episode 8. After several episodes of going by “she” did Adira actually say anything, after spending their entire life only telling Gray.
Why else would they withhold this their whole life except for anxiety. Is not like they had an awakening, they said they never felt that way and had already confided in the person they were closest to.
They made it very clear that asserting a non binary identity was just uncomfortable enough in society in the 32nd century that Adira felt a need to keep it to themselves.

OK sure but I’m saying is there anything on screen to support your claim other than this very brief line of dialogue?
