Science fiction, like horror and fantasy, emerged as genres at a time when people needed a way to talk about how the world was changing around them during the Industrial Revolution, a time when science was clashing with religious views. It's perfecting on form for a science fiction show to be discussing prevalent topics in society, such as the transgender community.
To all the people who are whining that a science fiction show is doing that, perhaps science fiction isn't for you. I'm sure there's a reality TV show or something mindless for you to watch.
For the people saying this wasn't well done, I have no clue how else you wanted it done better (other than showing bigots as "nice people"). It includes multiple trans actors - one of which WROTE and DIRECTED the episode. One of the main cast is also non-binary. The representation for this episode is off the chart, which is amazing to see.
