“Adira, who joined us from
Earth, may be able to guide sto Federation headquarters one
she regains her own memoris”
“Is there any way the symbiont
was joined with Adira against her will?”
Basically, Adira spends episodes 3 through 8 rolling with feminine pronouns, keeping their non-binary nature a secret.
Adira doesn’t come out until Episode 8:
ADIRA: Um, “they.” Not… not “she.” I’ve never felt like a “she” or or a “her,” so… I would prefer “they” or “them” from now on.
STAMETS: Okay.
ADIRA: Um, and I’ve never told anyone but Gray.
Adira kept their non-binary identity secret and took them 5 episodes to work up the nerve to declare to the first person other than Gray. I think the traditional trek move would have been from episode 3, right out the gate, first reference to this new character would use non-gendered pronouns because, well, why would they feel they need to keep it a secret?
Where is it reflected in canon that Adira was “afraid” to come out, keeping their gender a “secret”, or otherwise had to “work up courage”?
Again, just a single line of dialogue or anything from the show that illustrates that the topic was covered more than that scene I linked to in my initial comment.
I quoted the show. Season 3, episode 8. After several episodes of going by “she” did Adira actually say anything, after spending their entire life only telling Gray.
Why else would they withhold this their whole life except for anxiety. Is not like they had an awakening, they said they never felt that way and had already confided in the person they were closest to.
They made it very clear that asserting a non binary identity was just uncomfortable enough in society in the 32nd century that Adira felt a need to keep it to themselves.
Ugh, fine.

I’m asking is there anything on screen to support your claim other than that very brief line of dialogue?
