This is not the only place I could make an RvB reference with DS9 - I reckon there’s a “you ever wonder why we’re here” with Starfleet’s presence on DS9 🤔
Odo is such a prude but imagine how much fun you could have with a slutty shape-shifter that was adept at taking any form. Limitless exploration of kinks!
That’s why his brain melted when he communed with the old liquid lady.

I completely believe that Odo thinks his gender is Police Officer.
"“You ever wonder why we’re here?” O’Brien and Bashir at Quark’s while dressed as WW2 fighter pilots.
we walked here
You’re right, we did. And I have to say… It’s been a long road, getting from there to here. It’s been a long time, but my time is finally near. And I can feel the change in the wind right now, Nothing’s in my way. And they’re not gonna hold me down no more, No they’re not gonna hold me down!
Cause I’ve got faith of the heart, I’m going where my heart will take me! I’ve got faith to believe. I can do anything! I’ve got strength of the soul, And no one’s gonna bend or break me! I can reach any star… I’ve got faith, I’ve got faith… Faith of the heart…
I vaguely remember Sarge commanding the team to put someone down who was perfectly fine, “there’s no saving the poor bastard”. Could go well with Janeway and Tuvix.
A shape shifter can have anything they want in their pants.
Would be funny to troll partners with a banana. Or a strap on.
Odo is such a weirdo square. He could be literally anything he wants, and he has an opportunity to go join a society of all-powerful living gods, but he’s a little too busy making sure Quark doesn’t import a case of Romulan ale to participate in anything else.
He’s a little too busy imposing order over his little dominion.
Small d, son.
derisive snort
A shapeshifter has no pants.
So, he doesn’t understand gender binaries, but he perfectly understands and internalizes the liberal myth that pig exists for the sake of “justice?”
This is why the idea of a Star Trek “future” is so damn creepy to me.
He doesn’t understand gender binaries
He probably does, he uses he/him pronouns, but his race simply doesn’t have gender, being amorphous blobs and all
Liberal myth that pigs exist for the sake of justice
He was placed in his role by a literal actual fascist general, and only stayed there because his sense of actual justice wouldn’t let him let someone else take the role and implement the Cardassian “justice” (“line up 5 random Bajorans and execute them”). This is established very early on and very explicitly. I don’t like the police institution either, but Odo is not the right tree to be barking up, and definitely not the right way to say “the Star Trek future is creepy” (He doesn’t even work for Starfleet, they just kept him on because he was well-liked in the DS9 community)
