Trans persons aren't the only people have dead names.
And people also disliked Kirk going from Cadet to captain. Seven isn't being singled out.
Kirk did not have eighteen years of military experience behind him.
She was named XO for a reason.

Military experience doesn't equal command experience.She was named XO for a reason.
"Seven of Nine" is clearly the name she identifies as. "Annika Hansen" might be her birthname, but it's a name she hasn't willingly used since she was a child. To refer to her by the birthname she has since dropped is the literal definition of deadnaming.I really think it's a bad idea to equate trans issues with assimilation, which is consistently portrayed as an assault that leaves deep trauma in its victims. This isn't dead naming, it's something else, and while it would be worth exploring from a character standpoint, it's disingenuous to refer to it as deadnaming.

Why do you keep bringing up Kirk? He has nothing to do with this, that was a dumb action movie, people disliked him going from cadet to captain.And Cadet Kirk had it?
Of course not, but just because Trek XI engaged in a questionable and stupid decision does not mean the rest of the franchise should treat it as precedent.And Cadet Kirk had it?![]()
No, and that was a mistake. Pretty self evident in the films.And Cadet Kirk had it?![]()

We shouldn't treat the TV shows the same as the Kelvin movies. Keeping Seven as XO will allow her to gain command experience under an experienced captain.
She can get promoted during the hypothetical TV series.
It's more realistic this way.
Only because it wasn't his mission at the time. The ship wasn't stocked for it.A "experienced Captain" who's terrified of exploration, who's afraid to step beyond Federation space.
And? That doesn't make it good story telling.Because like it or not, it's canon.
That isn't a counter my point in anyway.If one's "reality" includes replicators, transporters, and warp drives.
Only because it wasn't his mission at the time. The ship wasn't stocked for it.
If he was terrified of exploration he wouldn't be commanding an exploration ship.
No, and it comes up in many episodes. I don't see your point, Janeway was forced into that situation, Shaw had a choice.Was Voyager ready to spend seven years in the Delta Quadrant?

It really wouldn't be. Why are you so against her being an XO?It would be terribly disappointing for Seven to end Picard's final season back where she started.

We really have no canonical context regarding the circumstances of how Picard got command of the Stargazer, besides taking command after the captain was killed. Presumably Picard was already the ship's XO at the time. In the aftermath, Starfleet likely felt he'd spent enough time in grade as XO and had learned enough about command, combined with the presumably satisfactory way he resolved whatever situation the Stargazer was in when the captain was killed that they believed he was ready to take permanent command of the ship and thus promoted him.Picard got his command after his commanding officer was killed. If he can handle being thrown into the deep end of the pool, so can Seven.
Because that wasn't the ships current mission profile.He sure as hell doesn't ACT like someone who isn't afraid of exploration.

Seven meanwhile might have all the necessary skills and qualifications to be a command officer, as reflected by the fact she's currently a ship's XO, but she still needs to "earn her spurs" before Starfleet gives her a command of her own.
Which is still irrelevant to this conversation.Which brings me back to cadet Kirk.
Yes, but this show isn't a dumb action movie.It was good enough for two more movies.
And I'll repeat myself that that was a moment of pure stupidity that should not be repeated.Which brings me back to cadet Kirk.
