If Star Trek Was Trans
The Original Series
James T. Kirk played by Brian Michael Smith (he/him)
Spock played by Asia Kate Dillon (they/them)
I know there’s a Thing™ about enbies only getting to play non-humans, but I really liked the idea of Asia Kate Dillon as Spock. But don’t worry. I tried to include more human enbies in the fan cast too. For context: if I cast a nonbinary actor to play the character imagine that the character would be nonbinary.
Leonard McCoy played by Alex Blue Davis (he/him)
Pavel Chekov played by Elliot Page (he/him & they/them)
Montgomery “Scotty” Scott played by iris menas (zie/hir)
Uhura played by Janet Mock (she/her)
Hikaru Sulu played by Leo Sheng (he/him)
The Next Generation
Jean Luc Picard played by Sara Ramirez (she/her & they/them)
This is a bit of a departure from the OG Picard but I really wanted to include Sara Ramirez in this and liked the idea of an enby Picard.
William Riker played by Jake Graf (he/him)
Geordi La Forge played by Kingston Farady (he/him)
Worf played by Skyler Cooper (he/him)
Beverly Crusher played by Alexandra Billings (she/her & they/them)
Deanna Troi played by Trace Lysette (she/her)
Data played by Scott Turner Schofield (he/him)
Wesley Crusher played by Lachlan Watson (they/them)
Deep Space Nine
I actually am not very far into “DS9″, I haven’t even finished season 2. So keep that in mind as you see this next bit.
Benjamin Sisko played by Marquise Vilson (he/him)
Kira Nerys played by Michaela Jae Rodriguez (she/her)
Odo played by ?
I love Odo, but I had no idea who to cast as him. Did I cast a trans dude, an enby, someone agender? I didn’t know so I left it open. Feel free to share your thoughts!
Julian Bashir played by Theo Germaine (he/him & they/them)
So I know the original actor who played Bashir was half Sudanese but unfortunately I am not familiar with any trans actors with that background. Feel free to share your thoughts on this too though!
Jadzia Dax played by Amiyah Scott (she/her)
Miles O’Brien played by Michael D. Cohen (he/him)
I didn’t include Quark because he’s a slimy, misogynistic sleaze ball (at least he is by where I am in this serious). So he can be played by a cisgender actor. Or Caitlyn Jenner.
Voyager
Full disclosure: I haven’t seen a single episode of “Voyager” so the only characters I really know are Cpt. Janeway and Seven of Nine (& even then I don’t know a TON about them). So I only cast them for the next part.
Kathryn Janeway played by Laverne Cox (she/her)
Seven of Nine played by Jamie Clayton (she/her)
And that’s all the Star Trek I know. I’ve never seen “Enterprise” or any of the newer shows, but if I ever watch them maybe I’ll revisit this. Anyways, this was just for fun! Feel free to chime in with any thoughts you have. :)
