Pretty sure that was Jadzia Dax (Trill; DS9)

This is something I keep seeing in various "leftist" ST spaces.

No, Jadzia (and Esri) Dax were women. Curzon Dax was a man. All were joined Trills. The fact the ungendered symbiote allows them to "switch" sex between hosts does not make any given host "non-binary" or "trans" or anything of that nature. I sort of hate that this really interesting species in the universe of ST is just being reduced to "trans metaphor" retroactively and the actual sex and accomplishments of the characters are being erased for this reason (so many TiMs saying that "akshually Jadzia Dax is a stunning and brave transwoman" rather than a strong, competent woman - pretty typical).
