Julian Bashir, I am so sorry but I will analyse you under different theories.

I'm studying for my final exams- especially educational science (it's kinda like psychology but also not?) and I'm struggling with one or two models and theories (especially about development)

And Julian is just a great character to analyse.

Roles, social roles, identity, development, his parents...

It will be a lot of work and may be stupid but I need a few examples and star trek still is one of my hyperfixations (has been for 11-12 years now).

I might share some stuff because oh boy, just the dinner scene alone is... a lot.

I think it hits extra hard if he was trans to begin with and Jules was already his chosen name. Because imagine being forced to have your chosen name essentially become your second dead name not because you chose another but because someone, your parents who you trusted, took it from you and killed it.

personally i do think julian bashir is trans, but not in a way that sublimates his genetic alterations into a trans allegory. i think he's disabled and trans at the same time, but i think his rebellion against his parents--the symbolic death of his old self with the name change--that's not about gender, for him, at all.

it's about the incredible violation of autonomy he experienced as a disabled person under the knife of a eugenicist society. it's about the need to reclaim some, any, of the agency that was so completely stolen from him by his parents.

it's about discovering that his entire self was deconstructed and reconstructed, without his knowledge or consent, for the express purpose of being less of a burden on his parents.

because let's not forget that the death of julian's old self was not his decision. it was his parents who killed the old self and created a new one.

let's not forget that human society in star trek is still recovering from the eugenics wars--that just because it's post-scarcity doesn't mean it's a utopia.

let's not forget the multiple episodes where bashir is forced to confront the fact that his "success story" is truthfully a gross reminder of how deeply his society (and his family) hates disabled people, not only shown in how they tried to fix him, but also in the fact that the process so rarely works as intended, yet is still done anyway--and the failures and the ones too far gone to save are locked away! with no connection to general society, and only the bare minimum provision for their physical needs, with no privacy and no autonomy!

and let's not forget that julian sees these people and is torn between the empathy he has for them, and his urge to fix them. and he goes through with this urge on Sarina, "fixing" her to conform to his idea of what she ought to be, treating her as a problem to be solved, objectifying her via "my ideal woman was trapped in this disabled body/mind and i saved her," thus continuing the cycle of violence, because even he can't conceive of a world where the disabled do not need to be fixed. where the violence done to him was wrong. fuck man

Avery Brooks deliveries that make me smile every single time I think of them.

Star Trek makes me soooo crazy cuz you got Picard saying things like "It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose."

And Data saying things like "I would gladly risk feeling bad at times, if it also meant that I could taste my dessert."

And Bashir saying things like “You can't go through life trying to avoid getting a broken heart. If you do, it'll break from loneliness anyway."

And Odo sayings things like "It has been my observation that one of the prices of giving people freedom of choice is that sometimes they make the wrong choice."

And I’m just supposed to be normal about it???

Watch DS9 everyone, the space dad is calling

[notcisko]

Julian Bashir is the perfect modern bisexual twink: spends most of his late 20's pining after an unattainable transgender woman before settling down with an older man who used to work for the CIA.
