#Lal Soong

[back-on-my-bullsh-again]

I just rewatched this episode for the first time since becoming a parent and let me tell you, I am sobbing like a baby right now. I have so many thoughts about this, particularly as a trans man who birthed my kid. My situation and Data's are not the same, but they're similar enough: we are both beings who society would assume are unable or unwilling to create offspring. But then we do and people start coming forward to claim that we are unfit to raise our own children because of who we are.

Being a trans parent in the current political climate is terrifying. I often find myself on edge hoping that no one is outwardly violent or cruel to me when I'm with my child. I worry that the government is going to decide that I am unfit to be a parent because I'm trans and attempt to take them from me. I want to teach my child to see the beauty in the world, to treat others with kindness and dignity, and to grow to become a better person than me. But, much like Data, it feels like there are always people who wish to argue that I am not the right person to teach these things because I am trans.

The Measure of a Man (Reprise)

“I aspire to be better than I am.”

A massive character study edit on Data Soong. An edit I’ve been working on since I started TNG last year.

au idea... tng but it's set in the 80s and the enterprise is an apartment building rather than a ship

other tenants of the building include: -Picard (the head of the college that Data attends) and Q (no one really knows what he does, he just pops in and out whenever he pleases) -Troi (high school guidance counselor) and Riker (personal trainer) and Worf used to live here too but he moved out -Beverly (still a doctor) and Wesley (burnt out college freshman) -Barclay (works at Blockbusters w/ Data and Geordi) -Guinan (bartender of a secretly gay bar)

the ds9 apartment is a whole other story
