Fans can be nuts for sure. Did you ever see the Trekkies documentary? There’s the lady who can see Brent Spiner’s house from her balcony and has a “Brent break” when she’s feeling bad where she goes out and watches and the lady who was dismissed from the jury in the Clinton Whitewater case because she only ever wears a TNG uniform and insists on being called ‘commander.’
I can see where you’re coming from, but it looked kind of uncomfortable at her job to be honest. Everyone else was in short sleeves, meaning it must have been hot, and she wore a belt with a tricorder and a phaser all the time. And expecting everyone to call you Commander is not cool IMO. I don’t think this is a deadnaming situation, she wants to be referred to by a military rank she does not have and did not earn.
I don’t want to discourage someone’s fandom, but there’s such a thing as going too far.
Oh, absolutely. You simply can’t bring that kind of fantasy to every part of your life and impose it on others. It’s not only rude, it could be a sign of issues understanding reality in a functional way.
Yeah, I won’t deny this is clearly the story about a crazy person but…eh. Fun and harmless crazy. Sounds like she’s functioning. She has her job. She gets by.
I have it downloaded and I’ve been meaning to but I didn’t realize it was that insane. I also thought it was like a mockumentary thing. You’re telling me that’s fucking real?!
It is real. I actually befriended Roger Nygard who made it. He put me in another one of his documentaries that has nothing to do with Star Trek and I still don’t know why.

That second example sounds like a great way to get out of jury duty tho…
Unfortunately, she was like that all the time. She wore the uniform at her screen printing job and everyone there called her Commander.
I dunno, that sounds kinda rad, she’s got something figured out…
I gotta take my uniform to get tailored or something 'Cause I’m hanging mad knuck every Halloween

Nah fuck it. She’s living the best life. I’d call her commander lol.

Life is short. Let her be the commander.
I’m with ya as long as she can knock it off and acknowledge it’s a bit.
Otherwise, ehhhh kinda worrisome
Just casually mention you know about jury nullification. You’ll never see a judge.

What the fuck. To both of those things but very much especially the first.
I am afraid.
You think you’re afraid, can you imagine how Brent Spiner must feel?
I’d have hired snipers
