Lesson learned? Moral? Story genderplot dramapoint?

Yes.

It's this: the breakout character of any sitcom wherever set is always going to be some kind of normative, recalcitrant hoodlum in the tightest yet fit pants imaginable for that era.

DOES NOT APPLY TO CHARACTERS POSING "FEMALE."

Chekov: "Stop calling vme 'Pottsy!' Put-upon look! Nuclear wessels to you, you, you Amsterdam-trained space-ass wipe! POTTSY DOTH MIR-NIL EXISTANCE NICHEVO, KIRKSUCKER!"

Spock Fonz: "..."

Spock Fonz: "Aaaay, haay. Communicado rec'd Mister Chekout. Sulu! Train your eyes on stun at the hot spectre of Mister Nuclear Wessels over herrrrrre"
