/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

This is completely headcanon territory. Which is fine, but presenting it like it is somehow accepted fact is a little ridiculous.
Tasha is a tough woman from a violent and lawless world who became the security officer on the enterprise after the federation helped her get away from there (not very fleshed out that part, iirc). Eventually, through some time travel weirdness she was taken prisoner by the romulans in the past and became romantically involved with one of them, leading to the birth of Sela (and her offscreen execution brought on by her attempt to flee with her daughter).
I'm not really sure where you get that she is somehow not a bog standard woman in that. Is it the short hair? If yes then that seems a little sexist in itself.
Either way, they don't care that much about that stuff in the future, as you say. So why would Tasha even identify as anything else, when it is perfectly accepted to be just however you are anyway?
It was more a comment about that style of coupling happening a lot in real life. You're really taking a throw away comment far too earnestly as an attack on her identity.
