Seven of Nine had a pretty amazing rack for someone "stripped of markers of human femininity." She was as much a woman under all the robotic body horror as Jeri Ryan, which raises the kind of horrific idea that Annika Hansen went through puberty as a drone.

Since Seven of Nine herself later describes USS Voyager as the place she was reborn. Seven of Nine is a cult survivor/escapee. The Borg are a high-control group; they abduct new members via physical force, deny their members any personal rights or freedoms to include bodily autonomy. Members of the collective may not leave. Members of the collective become entirely dependent on the collective for their social needs and their very survival, making escaping a traumatic experience that requires assistance from others...and escaped individuals seldom look back on their time in the group as a positive experience.

Breasts are not an exclusively woman gendered trait. You need to learn more about nonbinary people. There are plenty of nonbinary people for whom breasts are a neutral or gender affirming trait. Two genders can have a trait in common. 7/9 was stripped of the markers of specifically human femininity.

Wow, never heard that line from victims of religious brainwashing before. Oh, right, I have.

We would probably find that's like Voyager if anyone had rescued 7/9 from Voyager

and escaped individuals seldom look back on their time in the group as a positive experience.

We know for a fact that's the way 7/9 felt about the Federation as a drone.

Come on, pay attention. I said "Janeway is horrible, like the Borg are", and you replied "nuh uh, the Borg are horrible". You're not listening.

Oh. You're serious. And an idiot.

Ad hominem fallacy, plus circular reasoning. You dismiss a trans person's understanding of a trans story because they're an "idiot", and you think they're an idiot because you don't like their understanding of a trans story. The height of wilful ignorance.

Well you kind of proved the Republicans right by claiming that assigning a child as female at birth because they were born with a vagina as a violent act. That is the very height of Tumblr style retardation. From there on, no opinion you could ever express could have any worth to anyone.

The republicans claim that american democrats want a socialist revolution, free healthcare for all, to abolish the police, and to accept all genders no matter how nontraditional. I wish that was true. I wish all the awesome stuff republicans say about the left were correct. And I endeavour to make my wish come true every day. If you don't want the left to be as cool as I want it to be, get used to calling yourself a centrist, cause we moving the overton window ALL the way to the left
