(Trigger Warning: discussion of rape) InterTREKtional explores two very special episodes about being born this way and asks: did they get it right? First, Ryan and Becca look at Enterprise’s “Stigma,” (S2:E14) which compares a Vulcan neurological disorder to AIDS. Then, they discuss TNG’s “The Outcast,” (S5:E4) about a genderless alien who secretly identifies as a woman.

Hi Intertrekkies! Here's a rerun of our ode to the Borg Queen, dedicated to all you Picard-watchers out there. And don't worry, we'll have a totally fresh Q ep out to you soonsoon!
---
Repulsive yet seductive, powerful and enigmatic, the Borg Queen is one of our favorite Star Trek villains. In preparation for Star Trek: Picard, Becca and Ryan kick off InterTREKtional Season Two with this deep look at the Borg's baddest bitch. The film Star Trek: First Contact, and Voyager episodes "Dark Frontier" (S5:E15/16) and "Unimatrix Zero" (S6:E26; S7:E:1) are discussed.
Data is restrained by a leather clad Borg Queen in Star Trek: First Contact, the kinkiest Trek film.

Harry Kim never gets promoted"Another odd turn, in my opinion, was the non-promotion of Ensign Kim. I mean, come on people! Kim was probed, beaten, tortured and held the distinction of being the first Voyager crew member to die and come back to life.

Smashing the Matriarchy
InterTREKtional
08/20/19 • 59 min
Becca and Ryan discuss why they created the podcast. Then, the InterTREKtional away team beams down to two female-run planets and asks: Is this the future MRAs think feminists want? We discuss The Next Generation episode “Angel One” (S1:E14) and The Animated Series episode “The Lorelei Signal” (S1:E4). InterTREKtional is an exploration of Star Trek through an intersectional feminist lens. Intersectionality explores intersecting forms of oppression, and how they affect the experiences of individuals with compound identities, such as race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, and species.

This is InterTREKtional, an exploration of Star Trek through an intersectional feminist lens.
We are Ryan Ascolese and Becca Motola-Barnes. Ryan studied literary criticism and has seen every episode of Star Trek, including the animated series. Becca started watching The Next Generation before she could form memories... and she’s pretty sure she took a film class once! Star Trek is both a reflection of our society and an aspiration for our future; the stories it tells shape our world. Intersectionality explores intersecting forms of oppression, and how they affect the experiences of individuals with compound identities (such as race, gender, class, religion, sexual orientation, and *species*).
Star Trek is for feminists... Engage!
