Same response. You clearly have no valid input for the discussion.
What discussion? You refused to acknowledge when I provided an answer. I know a merry-go-round when I see one. This discussion isn't going anywhere except round and round.
There is no reason for you leap to Serveaux's aid. He/she clearly has no valid argument to make, unlike yourself.
I responded to your own post on the matter above.
You responded to my question, but a response is not an answer.
The fact that it is "going round and round" is not y doing.
Increasing minority representation isn't wrong. Some previously white character suddenly being black isn't wrong either, as long as white people are still reasonably well-represented. I don't see any threat to whitey's representation.
Also: Start using the multiquote function.
I don't particularly care about why the name was chosen. It is for the audience to come to their own conclusion. I just think it could be a clever choice, if it has a positive impact on the Trans community.
No, increasing diversity isn't wrong, but you can't have one rule for one person and another rule others. That isn't equality.
What is multi-quote?
Exactly. If he didn't talk about his brother he definitely isn't going to talk about his non pointy eared half sister.
Judging by her mannerisms, the fact that she has a vulcan hair cut and is emotionally upset by Sarek's words (who even upset Spock from time to time) and by the poster which has a big vulcan hand sign on it in front of her face there is clearly something of a deeper connection to Vulcan and President Putin.
Sure you can, because one is increasing diversity and the other isn't.
Well, we can't all be curious about the same thing.
How could the name have an impact for for transgender people?

Spock was ashamed of Sybok's behaviour and actions. He wasn't xenophobic. If he was embarrassed to have a human sister then why would he work in Starfleet?
The teaser does indeed suggest a connection Vulcan of some sort, but the poster is simply using a an element of the franchise that is iconic.
You provided no basis for worthwhile discussion.
Nah, it just saves me an unnecessary waste of effort with respect to silly questions.
There's just no reason to treat this kind of question with respect the 1,000th time it's brought up, because it's under-thought and trivializes racial issues.
Okay, congratulations - I've now expended more time on your question than it deserved.
By that way of thinking there will never be equality.
I simply asked a question. You were unable to provide a answer and got snippy.
Don't worry though { Emilia } has more than to argue the point for you.
The official Star Trek websites own profile of Spock states that "Spock was the first Vulcan to enlist in the Federation Starfleet, serving aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise under Captain Christopher Pike as a lieutenant, and later for James T. Kirk."

He joined Starfleet in 2249, 16 years before he joined up with Kirk. So he could have easily been the first to enlist and then after that more enlisted, or Starfleet worked out some sort of deal for a full Vulcan crew on one of their ships.
I thought it was mentioned in the series. Wasn't the fact he had joined Starfleet a point of contention when Sarek first appeared on the show?

This is like driving by a handicap parking spot and getting upset that you can't park there.
Is that really all you can think about? I've been reading so many of your posts, but it all comes down to this ... why don't you just get a life and forget about all your hate and prejudice? We are all different people ... different nations, different skin colors, differend beliefs ... and I respect every single one of them, without feeling the need to push one forward no matter what. I don't know what kind of mental issues you might have, but why don't you just calm down and actually enjoy diversity instead of forcing it onto everyone who is openminded anyway?
I am not for one minute speaking for people who are Transgender, but the idea of seeing a Woman, with a male name, struggling with her identity, may fit the circumstances they are going through if transitioning.
Trans people usually change their names though. Some will refer to their birth name as their dead name and get upset if they are referred to by it.
And we have no idea who named her Michael etc. But the name is a direct reference to gender norms, and the Identity is moved to a sci-fi trope to keep it in-universe, but could speak to the same issues of being assumed to be one thing, even when you feel you are something else.
