an abducted child who was forcefully desexed and dehumanized, mutilated, and brainwashed into essentially a cult

Keep in mind that after it was separated from the collective while crying out in pain and despair, it was then forcefully sexed, forcefully humanized, mutilated, and brainwashed. It cries in pain every time it is reminded of its time with humans at the beginning of its life, back when it was forced to identify as female because it was born with a vagina.

I do not argue that the Borg are in the right. But I certainly think that the Federation are at least as much in the wrong as the Borg are. There is no textual evidence that 7/9 ever chose a female identity or accepted one willingly. It cried in pain and dysphoria and dread when it was mutilated and forcefully sexed. I cried the same way when I, an asexual nonbinary person, was forcefully sexed by puberty. When every adult I knew said I would have to participate in heterosexuality and I had no choice. I pursued hetereosexual relationships because I was told I had to.

We don't have enough stories about trans women. But we have ONE story about dronegender people. Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjuct of Unimatrix Zero One. That is the ONLY story we have. There are no other stories in the whole world about people like me. I don't think trans women have enough representation in media. But why do they have to claim a "trans woman" who was given surgery against its will as one of them, when I have absolutely nothing?

Stamets does not even say the two stories can exist in parallel. Stamets says my very existence is an insult to trans women. That claiming the only representation of my gender in the whole world is transphobic.
