I loved this episode. I love that they embraced the goofier aspects of TOS and gave us this campy romp with space pirates and the return of Sybok. I want more Captain Angel, they're the best villain P+ Trek has introduced and I love that they're essentially a 90s Disney villain.

Not to mention a queer actor gets to use the aesthetic of queer-coding while also just simply being queer and deliciously antagonistic openly. It's a real win.

It was all about the message that nuTrek feels obliged to, It doesn't matter if it makes sense or not.

It makes perfect sense. Keitel is a non-binary person that uses she/her pronouns. Pronouns do not gender make. There is no one right way to be trans.
 
Sybok's world view was known to Spock, so at this point I do not believe they have met and talked.

So throughout Strange New Worlds, Spock needs to get to know Sybok a little. We may even get to see him trying to form his cult of followers. Maybe this took a long time, if Spock actively tried to seek him out.

"Spock! ...Spock! It's me. It's Sybok. After all these years you've finally caught up with me. Don't you have anything to say to me?"

and later...

"When he encouraged others to follow him, he was banished from Vulcan, never to return."

Sybok then needs to escape captivity, and go on the run - or is formally exhiled.

I don't care either way, but it was really taking me out of the story and back to our sad 2022.

The message that "these people exist and deserve acknowledgement and inclusion just as much as anyone else does." Horrifying, and completely nonsensical. I can see why that gets you all in a tizzy.

You cared enough to make a stupid comment about it.
 
It makes perfect sense to me, maybe try to learn something new instead of relying on ignorance.

The two of you talking about ignorance while calling me ignorant and stupid? Loughing out loud!

I have never said I had any problems with trans people. It's just the way that nuTrek is trying to hammer that issue in our heads that I don't like!

It's just having trans people exist and have people respect their existence without question or comment. If that is hammering something into your head then I really question what you feel is reasonable and it isn't an issue, it's an entire class of people who exist whether you like or not.

Who do you think you are to question my feelings? Please keep this conversation on a neutral level!

It's just about how you handle these topics in a movie/tv show, straight in your face or subtly intelligent.

Trans people are currently under intense threat of genocide by legislation and media propaganda. We're not going to let bullfuckery attitudes like yours into our fandom spaces where we should be allowed to feel safe.
