ppl getting mad and insisting that the j& #39;naii already exist therefore adira isnt the first nonbinary character... pls consider that the intent of the writer matters wrt representation

j& #39;naii were meant to be an alien alternative to gender, not representation of a real identity https://twitter.com/glaad/status/1301218466490449920">https://twitter.com/glaad/sta...

also that whole episode paints the j& #39;naii as villains supressing identity so like... it wouldnt be good rep anyway

adira is star treks first intentionally nonbinary character. thats that

it matters that nonbinary identity is intentionally included, and recognized as something that isnt alien. that doesnt mean that accidental rep DOESNT matter... but this is intentional inclusion, which is a significant change, and a good one
