"Incorrect Doctor, there is not a USS Genderprise in the United Federation of Planets startleet, but in the United Femmiphile Federation there is definitely a USS Genderprise.”

"United Femmiphile Federation?” Kirk asked. "Exactly what is that, Spock?"

This 'sissy get up' as you refer to it is no different to me than the change to starfleet regulation uniform was from the customary dress on Vulcan,” Spock replied.

"Let's not argue over our appearance,” Kirk interrupted. “We must
