	Jonathan Frakes, who played Riker on the series, wanted the episode to feature the queer angle more, and do a better job of it. Frakes has said that the actor to play Soren should have been male, and presented more masculinely, thus making their televised kiss comparable in social impact to the [[Uhura-Kirk kiss]]. Frakes generally thought the episode didn't go far enough in raising the issue.

	: I am female. I was born that way. I have had those feelings, those longings, all of my life. It is not unnatural. I am not sick because I feel this way. I do not need to be helped. I do not need to be cured. What I need, and what all of those who are like me need, is your understanding. And your compassion. We have not injured you in any way. And yet we are scorned and attacked. And all because we are different. What we do is no different from what you do. We talk and laugh. We complain about work. And we wonder about growing old. We talk about our families and we worry about the future. And we cry with each other when things seem hopeless. All of the loving things that you do with each other - that is what we do. And for that we are called misfits, and deviants and criminals. What right do you have to punish us? What right do you have to change us? What makes you think you can dictate how people love each other?		: I am female. I was born that way. I have had those feelings, those longings, all of my life. It is not unnatural.
