Outdated by today’s understanding of identity but this '90s show banged out many subversive pro-trans messages.

    You’re ignoring my point but don’t bother. Let’s call it progress that you didn’t call Ezri ugly in this post.

      call Ezri ugly

      Does that actually happen? If anything, I see posts fawning over her. Maybe I’m just thinking about my own posts, though…

            Maybe I’m misunderstanding. Isn’t the joke that Dax went from ugly to not ugly by going from Ezri to Jadzia?

              Dax went from Curzon (Sisko’s friend he called “old man”) to Jadzia to Ezri.

              Who’s hotter is a master of taste but Ezri was a young girl and Jadzia was a woman. Both good characters but Jadzia best girl and Ezri was just a good girl.

                I wasn’t talking about lore, I was talking about what OP posted a few days ago. In my opinion they implied that Ezri is ugly. OP says I’m batshit but hasn’t bothered to explain. I genuinely don’t see their point ¯\(ツ)

                  Oh. I didn’t see what happened in that other thread.

                  I’ll be the first to agree that Jadzia was more beautiful, but a woman is more than just her looks, and Ezri is more than just a pretty face (and she is absolutely beautiful in her own right). I just wish we got more than one season of her. Jadzia didn’t really have six seasons of content, but also, Worf was not present for the first two, and I think they were married in season 5? Going from memory here. So they couldn’t really cut her arc short. And, she only left the show because the actress wanted more money, or something — so she had to be replaced. (Not taking sides there, just saying what I remember from back then.) Anyway, Ezri absolutely deserved more time to grow.
