What's funny is that episode is basically the gender clownery we are enduring now taken to it's conclusion if allowed to continue on it's trajectory unobstructed. The story is about a whole fucking planet of non-binary they/thems and one of the aliens firmly says she is a girl. So the governing force sends her to re-education camp and she comes out brainwashed and no longer thinking she is female.

I know the claim is that it was an inversion & indictment of so called conversion therapy and claims to defend gays and other members of the alphabet soup...but it's amusing to me that I've never in my lifetime seen evidence of something like conversion therapy to de-gay someone occurring with the force of the state/media/academia/etc backing it...and I'm old enough to have grown up with TNG in it's first run. What I have seen for a very long time is abject mockery and scorn of anyone who has anything negative to say against the alphabet soup, especially if they are Christians. What I see all the time now are zealots infesting places like twitter & reddit- keeping everyone in line with social pressure and fear of being ostracized or cancelled. And when you hear stories of people that de-trans, is there a single one where they don't talk about the viciousness their former "allies" treated them with?
