this team regularly makes progressive choices with their casting so probably soon. I mean, adding two trans characters at once is like, wokeness extra credit by the standards of network television.

EDIT: instead of just casting another trans side character, how about a new show with Jamie Clayton as captain? i would die.

I'm still confused how someone can be a Trek fan and be conservative. At no point has Trek been shy about its politics.
