Same with gender, body shape, sexual orientation, etc. Everyone is accepted in Star Trek just as they are so there’s not much need for changes
This entire argument assumes no one does anything other than vote

The other side of this coin is that the banana is the largest herb; the banana tree is the tallest plant that doesn’t produce wood
Of course mixing up culinary and botany meanings deliberately is dumb and leads to people saying things like “a tomato is a fruit” and “a strawberry isn’t a berry” those people can go produce their own wood if you know what I mean
btsax@reddthat.comto Ask Lemmy•For those of you with a living room or multiple rooms; do you have a TV in your bedroom? Why or why not?4·4 days agoHell yeah dude, because the bed is comfy. Favorite place to watch shows or game

The Pope Disagrees.3·6 days agoWhat makes the Bible/Christianity such a great tool for controlling the masses is that you can take out of it whatever message you want and it’ll be valid and defensible. While at times Jesus was straight up communist he also said
But now he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a scrip; and he that hath not, let him sell his coat, and buy a sword.
That’s not even counting all the unhinged violence in the OT
