Adira: I've never felt like a "she" or-or a "her," so...I would prefer "they" or "them" from now on.

Stamets: Okay.

And that was the end of it. Horrific, isn't it? I'm sure Nacktmull would have blocked the characters for trolling if they could.

Also, I think it's worth pointing out that Adira was from Earth, which at that point had left the Federation, and had become seemingly a much more paranoid place. So that Adira was uncomfortable and worried about what folks might think of them seems reasonable, since they weren't used to living in the Federation, where being nonbinary isn't something anyone should be worried about sharing with others.
