I hate to disappoint people, but museums can get things wrong, just like art departments.

Yeah, my headcanon is just that records got all fucked up after the Burn. I mean sure, electronic records should be pretty airtight, but it's also been 800 years. We don't have decent family trees for anyone other than nobles that far back.
Can we at least acknowledge that even after Benjamin left, Jake still got his clothes tailored by an upholsterer?
But at least it looks "futuristic".
I'm not looking for top tier. I do not regard Star Trek as the best written franchise out there so my expectations are for characters I enjoy.
Yes, it is awful and completely inconsistent with TOS and TNG.
Representation isn't a problem. So why should I care and focus on that and waste my time? The technology, wardrobe and sets are the issue.

Representation is what Star Trek is all about. A black woman on the bridge during the Equal Rights movement? Representation. A Russian on the bridge in the middle of the Cold War? Representation. A Japanese man on the bridge only two decades after WW2? Representation. Even Pike's very awkward line that didn't age well in the slightest about not being comfortable with women on the bridge was supposed to be about female representation.
IDIC is about representation.
The technology, wardrobes and sets are absolutely irrelevant. How many times do we have to tap the sign with the Gene Roddenberry quote?
The sets, wardrobe anc technology are the issue. The new people running star trek had mo idea what they have done. They couldn't even give yhe enterprise the proper viewscreen on snw. Now on the 32nd century their "viewscreen window" is the same as the Enterprise one from 800 years ago. It ridiculous that the design team doesn't understand this.
Sigh
I hate to break it to you, but stuff like this is extremely small beer as production errors in Star Trek go.
What's mainly regrettable about the mistake in the Sisko family tree is that it opens up the possibility of some nerds in a future show making an episode to "explain" the error. May the koala preserve us.
Aa
Is this you having a problem with the representation od a man wearing a skirt?

I mean, deliberate obfuscation is the easiest answer.
Yeah. I mean, if you compare TOS to Forbidden Planet (which was a huge influence) one of the striking differences is the latter has a ship which has an entirely white and male crew, despite being made only a decade or so earlier.
If one thinks an "answer" is needed. It really isn't, though.
Given the postings here about errors, and at least being somewhat kinder in their tear down, I expect an "answer" is coming whether needed or not.
People are going to be arguing in circles forever until they agree that the set design/technology/continuity etc. IS important and representation IS important.
They're both important, it's not a contest, you don't have to rank them, you don't have to throw one away to have the other. They are very crucially important, and if you say otherwise then you're just dismissing other people because your own opinion is all that matters to you.

I believe we were talking about skirts vs skants vs dresses. But the statement I made is true I believe. Was there was a male klingon that wore a pleated skirt before? If so let me know. Not sure what your point is here.

In that you claim to have no problem with representation but appear to have a problem with the representation of a male Klingon wearing a dress.
What, functionally and anesthetically speaking, is the difference between a skirt, skant and a kilt? And who's to say that what Jay-Den was wearing wasn't a skant rather than a skirt, which we've seen male Starfleet officers wearing and Boimler championing the return of? Boimler would approve of Jay-Den wearing a skant. The way these goal posts keep moving, one really does have to wonder exactly what game is being played.
