I’m a 47-year-old man, and this turns me into a puddle of tears every time

Data nonchalantly letting Lal choose her own gender is another thing Star Trek did decades before bigots could be trained to be mad about it.

    Such a beautiful thing, so casually thrown out there as a conversation piece while he and Lal, and Counselor Troi stroll through a corridor… Oh, what a beautiful future they depict, and why Star Trek will always be the model future towards which we can only hope to strive…

    No it's only woke now before it was for real mens. The Child adrressing miscarriage is another one that even today is massivly under represented in media. Women just go through it in silence. I mean it wasn't consentual either which is another whole aspect most shows wouldn't touch.

    Where I am in the US, women don't go through it in silence now. If you need medical attention for it, there's an investigation to make sure you didn't miscarry on purpose and the hospital demands burial of the remains.
