It’s astounding to me how transphobes will always call transphobia “basic biology”. Like, hey, maybe learn just a tad of advanced biology. Imagine thinking you can build a house because you took shop class in high school.
(And yes, I realize they don’t actually care about biology.)
Yes, it’s from a season three episode, “Alter Ego”, where Kim and Tuvok both develop feelings for the same holodeck character (who, spoiler, may be more than she initially appears).
Honestly? Yeah. I haven’t watched any of the various TV series since my dad got bored with DS9 a season or two into the broadcast history.
Plus, with as remarkably attractive as the woman in the picture is, and how not-serious the body language of the two crew looks, it screams “teen-oriented parody movie” to me more than anything else.
My reading -- and what appears to be the interpretation of others who've commented as well -- is that the transphobe thinks biology agrees with them, while the biologist are explicitly saying they do not align with transphobes.

Is this meme template from an actual Star Trek thing? Every time I’ve seen it, it comes across as a still from a Scary Movie-style parody.

Thanks! Not surprised I didn’t recognize it as my dad (who loved TNG) refused to watch Voyager.
That’s probably why it didn’t look like Star Trek?
There's a scantily clad attractive woman and you don't think it looks like Star Trek? 🤨

Its a Voyager episode. Maybe because its a comical episode and the lines spoken here are what is actually said. But it is 200% real.
Yep, love triangle with tuvok, Kim and the woman
You might need to re-read the image, that's kinda what the image is saying.
Right, but what is the image saying that's false?
The transphobes think they're friends with biologist when they in fact are not.
The scientist is literally saying "no, we're not friends with transphobes".
My reading -- and what appears to be the interpretation of others who've commented as well -- is that the transphobe thinks biology agrees with them, while the biologist are explicitly saying they do not align with transphobes.
