What You See Is Not What You Get

Thanks for the Gender Inversion post by Kathy G. the other day. I’m finally convinced Taylor Swift is a man now. I remember you posting about it a year or so ago, but I wasn’t convinced at that time. I watched the Mr. E videos, the one where Swift is at an awards ceremony, wins, gets up from the chair, high fives or shakes a guys hand with a burst of masculine strength, Swift turns around and you see her exposed upper back. That particular video was the clincher, and now I can’t un-see it, as both you and Kathy G. remark. The guys in the video says she/it has to wear a lot of makeup/red lipstick because she’s just not pretty, (right!) which is why she’s always wearing make-up, to create the illusion.

I don’t care about Taylor Swift, and I’m sure you’re not a fan either, but I don’t think anyone has been more heavily promoted as a pop idol.
And it makes you wonder why.
