When I started watching the series, I had this doubt. As the three seasons went by, I came to the conclusion that she was simply a woman.
There was a character in the Fallout series, Dane, and I completely missed the fact that they were non-binary. I thought they were more of a tomboy character, but no—the character is non-binary, and the actor is a trans man, if I’m not mistaken.
I want to know if I was the only one who thought Erica might be the same case.
It’s weird to say because I usually try not to make assumptions about people, but sometimes I feel rude for not noticing these things sooner.

What made you assume that? Because she has short hair? She used feminine pronouns the entire time and they never made mention of her biological sex.

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.

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.

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?
