Does Discovery have a sex symbol character?

^ Pretty sad, no?
The gratuitous camera shots and costume choices can be disconcerting, but I know for all the sexist decisions made by producers and executive, I know that there were others behind the camera who thought they could do better in representing women, and actors in front of the camera, like Mulgrew and Visitor, who saw a unique opportunity to play characters that might show women something new and powerful.
 
I think the only main or (weekly) supporting character in ST who was not sexualized was Janeway. Any other examples?

Guest stars don't count

Hell, even the Borg queen was sexualized
 
This has to rank high up there on the sexualization scale. They had Troi and Crusher doing yoga in full-on thongs with camel toes. Yeesh. ST can do better than this. Very degrading

I think your little "DON'T DO THIS" routine is kinda adorable since it comes across as serving the purpose of having an excuse to post images and talk about how exactly women can be objectified. Thank you, we do not need examples. We don't need people to go: "LOOK AT THIS WOMAN'S BODY AND THE CAMELTOE!"

I'm also assuming trekcore.com is not your personal website so I have turned your hotlinked image into a link. Don't do that.
