Outdated by today’s understanding of identity but this '90s show banged out many subversive pro-trans messages.

    In humans that’s true.
    But what of alien body hopping slugs, who are half themselves and half their host? It doesn’t seem right to assume the blending of consciousness and frequent body swapping wouldn’t change that notion.

    As I said, it’s substantially different.

        Of course not. But this is about opening up people to more broad ways of thinking. You seem to be ignoring anything broader than humans. Not all people are humans.

            That’s an assumption.
            But even if true, it’s immaterial to my point.

                Assumption: There are zero non human sentients observing the broadcast.

                It’s not an unreasonable assumption… But it is an assumption.

                One you’re using to avoid the point
