You really don't get the wholesome genuineness and processing this scene has from the meme. I presumed it was a snappy switch from the old name to the new name like a MCU hint of bathos, but it felt like an organic and sincere correction in conversation while suffused in the heartfelt joy of reuniting with an old friend. Truly a beautiful scene, and I am better for actually seeing it in non-jpg form.

I don't know why people are asking this as a trans thing; the show is pretty adamant that while she has Curzon's memories, Jadzia is a separate individual. Like if one used a device or method to transfer their memories to someone of the opposite sex and they still identified as their birth sex and kept their birth name, I don't think most would consider that person to be trans.

@@DCdabest Biological sex, in contrast to gender identity, is very well measurable: it's scientifically defined as an individual's biological disposition to take on a reproductive function within their species. Said disposition is absolutely binary, clearly measurable genetically, and expressed anatomically, biochemically, physiologically, and morphologically to various degrees. Also, it doesn't matter whether the individual is actually willing or able, for whatever reason, to take on a reproductive function within their species, biological sex is only about the biological disposition(!) to do so. A Trill host change like that from Curzon to Jadzia isn’t just a non-measurable, self-proclaimed change of gender identity, it’s first and foremost a scientifically measurable change of biological sex, including an equally measurable partial change of personality to the Trill composite psyche.

This is one episode of all the Trek series episodes that should have Never been made or released to the public. The studio did such an outstanding job creating the Jadzia character. She was so so smart and so full of life in that way. But something died when she Jadzia persued how to take the life of another. She Jadzia created premeditated murder. She deliberately and willfully went out with the sole purpose to murder and killed a man that never harmed her or hers and had nothing to do with her. Neither had it anything to do with being in the line of duty as a sworn in star fleet officer. She forced the worst dreadful, selfish, and unrighteous burden on Commander. B. Sisko. They should have never created her trill character as a host. She would have flourished even without one. They could have brought Dax into a less important trill character. The charcter Jadzia commanded just too great a presence for her to go the way of a 'blood oath' Symbiant.

Jadzia herself pointed out as a mentor to a trill that symmetry between host and symbiant is a must and the latter must not become dominant. Jadzia was a sworn-in federation officer. Sisko had to hold her to that. The other hosts wete not. As Sisko ecplained to Worf 'you can act on a decision but you will be held accountable for the action as a Federation officer" ' when Worf acted not to leave Jadzia behind her being wounded and incapacitated. That action went directly against the command level orders given him. Capt Skisko was a great instructor, teacher and leader.

I do not quite know what any of this has to do with trans people to be honest. The trill are an alien species after all and it is their distinctive ability that they can be joined by a certain symbiant creature. The whole comparison is quite ridiculous. It's akin to finding a lizard that can reproduce without sexual intercourse and then say, that proves humans also do not need a partner to reproduce. And if you want to tell me that it is a metaphor for tanssexuals being no different from others in the future, please tell me where you can find trans people in the star trek lore. They kept the whole debate out of their shows,at least for now, which I see as a very prudent decision.
@OrdinarilyBob
Жыл бұрын
I am not trans, but I do consider myself an ally, so let me take a shot at an explanation... Part of the problem with Talking about a Hot Topic is that people get revved up about the Topic before they even get to the Talking part. For example, Racism. If I even start mentioning, for instance, Blacks vs. Whites, people start talking White Power or Black Power, Slavery, Reparations, this Cop Shooting or that Lynching, BLM or All Lives Matter or this or that, etc etc etc. I'm not saying those aren't valid points, or that they shouldn't be worked out, but because they ARE so emotional/stressful, we're worked up and we still haven't got to really TALKING. But if you tell a story about an alien race and you frame the story in a way that might show the foolishness of bigotry, you might get through. Take the TOS episode "Let that be your Last Battlefield". Now, I don't remember all the details, but the gist was that there was a Black/White alien race that hated a White/Black alien race and vice versa. They had suffered years of war/tribulations because of the colors of their skins. The All-Inclusive Federation comes in and can't understand what is all the fuss. And since the show is written with the Feds as the protagonists, it's easy for real life humans of either White or Black persuasion to not think of themselves as either, but simply to think of themselves as the The Noble Good Guy Humans. And without getting heated up over the idea of Racism, they might just realize that from the Outside, those aliens are the same except for some minor, irrelevant differences. Maybe, just maybe, they'll realize our real life skin color differences aren't that important either... In short, the more their hearts and minds are opened, the more they are exposed to Acceptance, the more likely they are to not be racists in real life. So in this case, instead of racism, the allegory of the aliens here is that one alien can accept the sex change of another alien with grace and laughter. It's still Kor's old friend Dax. Male/Female, Curzon or Jadzia, doesn't matter. Here sci-fi hides away the Hot Topic portions of Trans under symbiotes and space Vikings and their epic capers, in the hopes that Acceptance will be the message you hear without even realizing it. The problem with Bad sci-fi (like a lot of Nu-Trek) is that modern writers get super heavy-handed with their Woke story telling. It's all about Social Justice "Look at Me" Virtue Flag Waving. If they were more subtle, they could probably get their Agendas out to more people.

The fact is that trill and humans are different species with distinct biological features, as are lizards and humans. That was the point. Sentience has nothing to do with my argument. So if you want to see this as an allegorie for transsexuals, that is fine with me. I just tried to point out the clear flaw in the logic of said allegorie, which you would probably only follow if you were part of a certain political movement. In my opinion the trill are just a very intriguing concept for a scify species, but it certainly makes no accetable or valid points about our current political debate on transsexuals.

I've been reading in the comments, people talking about trans rights and such, saying that people should be more like Kor and accepting the change. However, let me point out why this situation should not be compared with transitioning.. Very carefully selected Trill carry symbiotes, in which contains the memories of the previous host, the idea is to carry on the life of the symbiote through the host, thus, each new host can experience and retain those memories of their previous host, feelings of those memories will be retained as well, but primarily continuing on the life of the symbiote is of the utmost importance. When Kor accepted the change from Curzon to Jadzia, no doubt he knew of the Trill species and the continuation of The symbiote and everything that goes with it. I implore anyone who reads this to consider the difference, Because this is not transgenderism, no doubt it is fictional, but it is retained in the fiction of Star Trek, which in essence, is factual to Star Trek Lore.

So...the symbiote is genderfluid, or even something similar to two spirit (though this is indigenous so I hesitate to use this unless there is a broader term). 🤷♀️ Otherwise, as its own sentient being independent of the host, and *assuming* this part of course because this show isn't real, they would have a preferred pronoun for communication regardless of the host. Even if that is "they". Some individuals that are genderfluid/genderqueer/gender non-comforming also consider themselves trans, so this returns us to, "Jadzia is trans (or genderfluid if she prefers)". It hurts no one to respect chosen names and pronouns, fictional or not. You might consider that before trying to take a wholesome, positive moment from people who get so little in terms of representation and relatable experiences with a technicality that can confirm or deny neither of us.
