I agree. I think she's the strongest female character of all the Trek
series. She's a symbiotic creature, however, so the unfortunate implication
is that she draws much of her strength from her past male lives.
On the other hand, maybe the message is more positive, i.e. that we could
all grow by spending time in female bodies and in male bodies.
Am I opening a whole new can of worms? (or Trills?)
