Mary was honestly too old looking to play the wide-eyed newbie by season 2. They cast an actress in her early 30s to play someone who was supposed to be 22, and like a lot of redheaded people, she started visibly aging young.

And for me who watched Trek since TOS and definitely not GenZ. So, how do you classify people like myself?
Actor = only for male
Actress = only for female
Actor/actress = for non-binary
I think that is really offensive to call non-binary person actor bcs it is designation for male. You need to use actor/actress designation to describe non-binary person: Non-binary or genderqueer is an umbrella term for gender identities that are neither male nor female—identities that are outside the gender binary.
But this is not topic about someones gender/sex declaration. It is rude and indecent to talk about someones feelings about their own sex/gender declaration, it is ther human and social right and it is not for discussion.
I am talking about how they are bad actors after watching 90s Trek. I respect that some other people don't think that, but I think that and I know that there are a lot of other people think the same.
Actor can be used for either male or female. Nothing gender-specific about it.
Yup. It’s put exceptionally well by Geena Davis in a quote that can be found here.
It feels obvious in the first moment, as she points out that “authoress” and “doctress,” are real, historical gendered terms that have completely gone away from our vocabularies.
And they’ve disappeared from the shared language because they’re needless outdated terms that pointlessly distinguish occupations by gender, and do so under a false, and exclusionary gender binary.

Nope.
As already mentioned, "actor" is acceptable as a gender-neutral term, but if that bothers you, you could have said performer or thespian.
EDIT: Okay, I've just been informed Ian Alexander is in fact non-binary, so I suppose the above crossed-out paragraph can be disregarded. The point I made in the first paragraph still stands.

The sooner we erase 'actress' from the lexicon, the better.
They are really keeping any previews of Ep 13 under wraps. Has anyone seen anything for the last episode?
It's actually cancelled.
You're wrong.
What you describe, i.e. separate masculine and feminine forms, is correct and progressive in many languages, but in English it is exactly the opposite. However strange and conservative it may sound to people to whom English is foreign, the gender-neutral form is the masculine form. Lost in translation.
They'll release pictures of people looking at something tomorrow

Yeah Discovery fired back with some type of orange coloured pulses.
Post-production for the episode was finished only last week or the week before, so we might not get a trailer.
Sweet!
