Trauma and Masculinity in Star Trek Part One: Captain Kirk

[Cake Is Eternal]

This is Part One of a series of four articles on trauma and masculinity in Star Trek. These articles are adapted from my research paper which earned an A- from a very demanding professor. My editor at Treksphere helped me adapt my paper for articles so I could share with everyone.

TW, I discuss trauma with reliable psychological sources. https://treksphere.com/star-trek-un...BP9-3WBd1G9OMFgj-mIAA_1mazTAksDT7CjuZw7Zxiq4E

I’m not much of a shipper but I’m always happy to consider the possibilities!

My wife wrote the fanfic sequel to "All Our Yesterdays" that is very compelling... we wrote it for our Trek zinelet a few years ago.
