A Gender Problem Part III

from Treknobabble Psychobabble: A Star Trek Podcast Hosted by Elliott Encarnacion, Elizabeth Kimble

This week, Elizabeth and Elliott wrap up their discussion of trans allegories in Star Trek (for the time being) with a little diversion away from Star Trek to "The Orville." The "Topa arc" spanning the three seasons of the sci-fi comedy, modelled lovingly after Star Trek, maps Trek's own evolution on the topic from cringe-y to beautiful. Content Warning for transphobia and suicide.
