most all change in society comes forth first from the arts...
in 2006, the year Taylor Swift released her first single, a closeted country singer named Chely Wright, then 35, held a 9-millimeter pistol to her mouth. Queer identity was still taboo enough in mainstream America that speaking about her love for another woman would have spelled the end of a country music career. But in suppressing her identity, Ms. Wright had risked her life
In 2010, she came out to the public, releasing a confessional memoir, “Like Me,” in which she wrote that country music was characterized by culturally enforced closeting, where queer stars would be seen as unworthy of investment unless they lied about their lives. “Country music,” she wrote, “is like the military — don’t ask, don’t tell.”
The culture in which Ms. Wright picked up that gun — the same culture in which Ms. Swift first became a star — was stunningly different from today’s. It’s dizzying to think about the strides that have been made in Americans’ acceptance of the L.G.B.T.Q. community over the past decade: marriage equality, queer themes dominating teen entertainment, anti-discrimination laws in housing and, for now, in the workplace.
But in recent years, a steady drip of now-out stars have disclosed that they had been encouraged to suppress their queerness in order to market projects or remain bankable.

Ms Wright likens closeted stardom to a blender an “insane” and “inhumane” heteronormative machine in which queer artists are chewed to bits “It’s going to keep going,” Ms. Wright says, “until someone who has something to lose stands up and just says, ‘I’m gay.’ Somebody big.” She continues: “We need our heroes.”....
What if that hero’s name was Taylor Alison Swift?
In the world of Taylor Swift, the start of a new “era” means the release of new art (an album and the paratexts — music videos, promotional ephemera, narratives — that supplement it) and a wholesale remaking of the aesthetics that will accompany its promotion, release and memorializing. In recent years, Ms. Swift has dominated pop culture to such a degree that these transformations 'often end up altering American culture' in the process.
On April 26, Lesbian Visibility Day, Ms. Swift released the album’s lead single and video, “ME!,” It features Ms. Swift dancing at a pride parade, dripping in rainbow paint and turning down a man’s marriage proposal in exchange for a … pussy cat.
Taylor has had public moments where she has kissed other women who are out as lesbians.

At the end of June, the L.G.B.T.Q. community would celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. On June 14, Ms. Swift released the video for her attempt at a pride anthem, “You Need to Calm Down,” in which she and an army of queer celebrities from across generations — the “Queer Eye” hosts, Ellen DeGeneres, Billy Porter, Hayley Kiyoko, to name a few — resist homophobia by living openly. Ms. Swift sings that outrage against queer visibility is a waste of time and energy: “Why are you mad, when you could be GLAAD?”....The video ends with a plea: “Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all of our citizens equally.”

'There’s no question that 2023 belongs to Taylor Swift. The 34-year-old pop star was known as an advocate for female empowerment. a hugely successful tour she has influenced females of the gen-z far more than anyone or any thing else.
..
2023 belonged to Taylor Swift. fact: over 26 billion streams on Spodify - 1.1 billlion in tour revenue..... the 34 year old pop star known as an advocate for female empowerment is also an example of a 'Woman' advancing the matriarchal influence...she holds sway and effects the under-40 gen-z females far more than anyone else...
her support for the LGBTQ and specifically the trans-community...will make it easier for t-girls to come out ...which in its own way is a demonstration of Female superiority... in that in emulating Women one acknowledges it....emulating?....is there a t-gurl out there that doesn't want her own?
the trans-phenomena is among other things about bringing males into a feminine world...for one it further erodes toxic masculinity...
and it is a phenomena...for it spans generations of former males...from young to older males in increasing numbers are embracing the feminine world of being a t-gurl
2016 / 2024 ....
the Dominatrix acts as a Matriarchal influence... by taking Her gurls journey inward She also helps bring them out...
Did you know you were transgender when you started crossdressing? Or did you simply find a rationalized unexplainable pleasure in wearing garments that were typically women’s clothes
There was no way that you were transgender, but now something is. . . different? You reason in your head, ” Maybe. . . but . . . . no, not me. I just enjoy wearing women’s clothes.” And yet undeniably within your mind, there is “tossing it around” happening. You know it, but vaguely. At this point, you either don’t know what “it” is or you are afraid of being honest about “it.” Moving from being a crossdresser to understanding that you are transgender is not inevitable, yet often the two have a connection
certainly Dominatrix Camille has with Her former males...a Mistress brings clarity.......and a She'll do it with a flair for Female superiority being brought into play...
be well sisturs... peace, alyssa
