  Yeah I mean she was gender swamped from her TOS counterpart. But really the beauty of star trek is it really shouldn’t matter. She was pilot first that happens to identity as a woman and likes her hair styled that way.

  That is what was star trek all about is not about calling out each identity, race and culture in celebration in an after school special kind of way but to normalize all kinds of people being up on that bridge.

    What you mean with this? I didn’t understand.

      I’m assuming they meant “swapped” and not swamped.

      Unless gender swamping is a thing now. I can’t keep up.

  A bit tomboyish, maybe. She was quite dashing as the knight from the fantasy book episode. And definitely had a thing going with the ranger character.

    I forgot about being the knight of a fantasy book during that episode, well, that something else who make me doubt she was a female.

      Doubt why? Unless they are actually labeling her as trans or non-binary in the show there shouldn’t be any reason to doubt what she presents herself as. In Discovery they had a non-binary character (Adira) and addressed it head-on before SNW was even airing.

        My doubt it was if she was a woman with short hair or actually a transgender man.

        Not all person introduce as trans, so I feel like a fool when I find out Dane in Fallout was a man, I thought it was a woman with short hair like the case of Erica.

  Her behaviour, a little bit the short hair but more the way she act, I was expecting in one episode to hear something like “My pronouns are they”. Also, even if I saw the serie on english, I give more attention to the spanish subtitles, so pronouns are used slightly different.

  It was my fault for having my doubts, but also when I didn’t in first season of Fallout series it was actually trans, I’m wrong of don’t see it?

      I used to have a trans companion in my high school who reminds me to Erica Ortega.
