When I started watching the series, I had this doubt. As the three seasons went by, I came to the conclusion that she was simply a woman.

There was a character in the Fallout series, Dane, and I completely missed the fact that they were non-binary. I thought they were more of a tomboy character, but no—the character is non-binary, and the actor is a trans man, if I'm not mistaken.

I want to know if I was the only one who thought Erica might be the same case.

It's weird to say because I usually try not to make assumptions about people, but sometimes I feel rude for not noticing these things sooner.

I didn’t, but I’m also a short haired woman who sometimes behaves the way she does and isn’t super girly.

I just thought she was the hottest person on the bridge of that starship, regardless of gender.

For me the hottest is Pike, is a very handsome man and his hair is cool as hell.

Captain Pike is a close second in my book. I adore his hair and he’s super fucking handsome!

Wait, Christina Pike is a man? /s

[–] cuchi@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago

You thought it Pike was a grandma for his white hair? /s

Agreed, she looks like a younger version of my wife, but acts more feminine. Also yes to the hotness.
