DS9 had Jadzia kiss another trill whose host happened to be a woman. TOS had the first televised interracial kiss. ENT had a pregnant Trip Tucker. Trek has always been woke.
Mariner is definitely down for anything. She’s dating the andorian Jennifer in a few episodes and she also went on a date with Steve Levy the conspiracy guy. She also dated an Anabaj to annoy her mom so…yeah.
She even says this in one episode (the Tom Paris one):
“Oh I’m always dating bad boys, bad girls, bad gender non-binary babes, ruthless alien masterminds, and bad Bynars.”
I will be forever disappointed that the higher-ups refused to have that alien played by a male actor. I am glad if it helps trans people feel noticed and respected though.
TNG basically had Riker fuck an alien trans woman in 1992.
Any trekkie who complains about Trek being too woke, is either a moron, or not an actual fan.

And, of course, Discovery has Stamets and Culber, plus their adopted nonbinary child.
I’m pretty sure Mariner’s up for anything.

I like that she had to classify Bynars separately from non-binary people.

Seem to remember Frakes being dissapointed with that too. Wanted a male actor.
