I thought her revised suit was actually kind of smart, but I got to the point where I really couldn’t stomach being preached at by Millennial scriptwriters any longer. Whoever was making that show in its latter seasons lacked any kind of subtlety and had clearly never heard of the principle show, don’t tell.

I was reading somewhere last week, w.r.t. Star Trek Discovery, the reason why TOS worked and Discovery doesn’t, when it comes to what it considers to be knotty social issues, is that TOS generally just portrayed the future as Roddenberry saw it (so there’s a black woman on the bridge, and a Russian sitting next to a Japanese man, and they all just get on with it) whereas Disco’s writer’s can’t help lecturing the audience about gender ideology in screeds of dialogue on a weekly basis.
