Star Trek was one of the first televised shows to explore issues of gender and sexuality, earning an audience of devoted queer fans alongside its core base of science-fiction enthusiasts.

Jessie Earl, known as Jessie Gender on YouTube, is known for her deep dives into topics of gender and sexuality―but she also interrogates Star Trek and its impact on gender and sexuality as we know it.

Queer readers and science fiction fans alike will love this deep dive into Deep Space Nine―as well as other aspects of Star Trek, such as its older iterations, fandom responses, show controversies and more―as they learn about gender and sex through one of the most prescient shows of its time.

This book explores Star Trek as a cultural zeitgeist: not just a TV Guide, this book explores the history and sociology of Star Trek from its inception to modern iterations, helping readers to understand not just the show, but themselves as well. This book would make a great gift for anyone interested in gender and Star Trek.
