ib disco, adira's boyfriend has such powerful femboy vibes that my sister keeps misgendering him as "she"

ok so this has been in my drafts for so long because I looked it up and accidentally found out that the actor is actually trans so I should really get my sister to stop doing tha- wait we already watched them all, it's too late, crap

We had all been correcting her every time, (she thought he was a girl the very first time his character was onscreen and didn't ever fully get that he wasn't) but she didn't really try very hard to get his pronouns right, or adira's, once they came out as non-binary, so nearly every time one or both of them was on screen, my brother and sister (who, annoyingly, like to talk about the show during it) would be trying to ask their questions or laugh about what was going on by retelling it, but just constantly tripped over all the pronouns in a mess of gender confusion

#honestly goals #I want to cause that much gender confusion #star trek #star trek disco #star trek discovery #discovery #adira tal #adira #my sister also has told me on several occasions that she much preferred it when I had long hair (which was... about 4 years ago)#and that it's “just weird” and “not how she's used to it” for my hair to be short (which-granted- she hasn't said for a while)#and one time in 8th grade when my friends were pushing me to find a label and I told her I thought maaaybe I wasn't exactly a girl #I think she said something like “but you're my sister 😢” (more than once)#my brother was more accepting but he forgot and I was questioning so I didn't push it #and now lately he's been like “You. Are my sister. 😌” as an affirmative thing in place of “I love you” and that's sweet but #I'm just slightly uncomfortably like *if you say so*#Neither of them are trying to be transphobic though ESPECIALLY not my brother #wow this kind of turned into a rant sorry #the original point was that I thought it was kind of funny how my sister was accidentally misgendering a character who I thought was cis
