#trans worm

I literally cannot remember if I made this, I think I did???

I almost skipped this one because of my previously mentioned aversion to gaslight episodes. BUT there are 2 pretty cool things here.

This Benjamin shot:

It’s just really smooth, and in general DS9 is shot as kind of a jittery show. The shot is nice, but the contrast of shot type overall is a nice thing on its own. You also don’t often see an actor do a 360 in one shot on anything.

This trans Dax moment, which I really love. The idea of being trans was in the public eye in the 90s is not the way it is now at all. Then the terminology was limited to a t-word slur and ‘cross dressing/dresser’. It wasn’t understood in the way it is now - but on the other hand, it’s such a public point of contention that this kind of conversation might not have made it to air if it was contextualized the way it is now.
