    Breasts are not an exclusively woman gendered trait. You need to learn more about nonbinary people. There are plenty of nonbinary people for whom breasts are a neutral or gender affirming trait. Two genders can have a trait in common. 7/9 was stripped of the markers of specifically human femininity.

    Since Seven of Nine herself later describes USS Voyager as the place she was reborn.

    Wow, never heard that line from victims of religious brainwashing before. Oh, right, I have.

    The Borg are a high-control group

    Like Voyager

    they abduct new members via physical force

    Like Voyager

    deny their members any personal rights or freedoms to include bodily autonomy

    Like Voyager

    Members of the collective may not leave

    Like Voyager

    Members of the collective become entirely dependent on the collective for their social needs and their very survival

    Like Voyager

    making escaping a traumatic experience that requires assistance from others

    We would probably find that’s like Voyager if anyone had rescued 7/9 from Voyager

    and escaped individuals seldom look back on their time in the group as a positive experience.

    We know for a fact that’s the way 7/9 felt about the Federation as a drone.


    Come on, pay attention. I said “Janeway is horrible, like the Borg are”, and you replied “nuh uh, the Borg are horrible”. You’re not listening.

        Ad hominem fallacy, plus circular reasoning. You dismiss a trans person’s understanding of a trans story because they’re an “idiot”, and you think they’re an idiot because you don’t like their understanding of a trans story. The height of wilful ignorance.

            The republicans claim that american democrats want a socialist revolution, free healthcare for all, to abolish the police, and to accept all genders no matter how nontraditional. I wish that was true. I wish all the awesome stuff republicans say about the left were correct. And I endeavour to make my wish come true every day. If you don’t want the left to be as cool as I want it to be, get used to calling yourself a centrist, cause we moving the overton window ALL the way to the left
