The people who claim that the arrowhead wasn't an Enterprise assignment patch but was for all "starship duty" somehow never seem to remember the uniforms on the Defiant, which all have a different insignia. The rationalization I've come up with for this whole mess is that the insignia did vary from ship to ship, but they weren't unique -- there was a set of perhaps eight or ten of them that each captain could choose from. So Matt Decker chose the pretzel, Ron Tracey picked the embroidered rectangle, etc. But by far the most popular choice was the arrowhead, so much so that at some point after TOS, Starfleet just adopted that symbol fleet-wide and dropped the others. Boom, all problems solved.

I'm a generally sheltered middle-aged cis guy whose exposure to trans folks mostly consists of a Q&A session at my local BDSM club, which had two hosts, one who transitioned in each direction. I learned a lot at that session, but one impression that I took away is that Trekkies ought to have an easier time with trans issues because we've previously encountered Curzon's transition into Jadzia. Perhaps I was a little too optimistic.
