Watching old Star Treks and geez, reading trans/queer subtext into the True Q episode of TNG works almost *too* well.
I mean, lines like, “it certainly would be easier if this had never happened or if it would just go away, but it’s not going to go away” feels preeeetty familiar.
(Granted, I am probably reading way, way more than was ever intended into what is a fairly mediocre Trek episode.)
