What I don't get is why Taytay thinks anyone is so deeply and enduringly interested in what goes on with her sex life.

As someone who is sexually attracted to some femme women, I can't think of anything more grotesque that watching that flat skinny sellout plagiarist narcissist bonebag reptilian gasping and shrieking and sweating in the throes. Ugh. She just isn't all that conventionally hot and fuckable, no matter how many Victoria's models she cosies up to. And that's *fine*, there's other life to live. Plus it's such a boring topic to opine.

Why is attaining a broad sexual appeal the end-all be-all? It didn't do Marilyn that many favours. It's fine I suppose while you're young enough to enjoy it in a brief window, but surely it's dull and lost its savour by one's 30s & 40s. Why does anyone want moreso to be smart or creative or skilled or charismatic? Why doesn't anyone want real respect and accolades? Tay's rich, so she's ticked that box, and she's hoodwinked people into extolling her attractiveness, but is that all there is?

Taking the trans part out of it completely, this is still extreme body dysmorphia.

His consuming need to get attention and publicly objectify himself in a hypersexual manner all the time constantly clued me in to the fetishism of his disorder. Not that female popstars never do this (cf. ‘WAP’), but even in those rare cases they still talk about their bodies differently—with more personal engagement and subjectivity if that makes sense.

But he does still have female physical attributes that are apparent in video but photoshopped out in the photos. That doesn't seem like a healthy relationship with one's body to me, and I don't find that kind of dysmorphia attractive in real life, independent of whether I find someone physically attractive in a flat image. Hence, why I said it seems like hell to me to be adored as an image but struggle with my actual body, *trans or not.*

[quote]Taylor Swift is finally giving the Swifties what they want: trans representation.

Is this really what her fans want?

I see, so depression, bipolar and any other mental disorder are all beliefs. Got it.

Yes, more or less, yes.

[quote][R136] Are you posting from the 1940s?

Actually there were music clips in the 1940s, 50s and 6os, but they weren't called music videos. These clips were used to promote the music. However. these clips weren't as important as they seemed to be since MTV started forcing gullible pop music fans to see videos as an integral part of popular music.

MTV and music videos have essentially ruined most popular music. A lot of terrible singers and bands became famous due to music videos. The artifice and spectacle was more important than the music.

The huge problem, since the advent of MTV, many music videos seemed to be more important that the actual music itself. As if there was some ridiculous culture event surrounding some dumb music video being released.

That said, Taylor Swift is awful. This woman cannot sing and her music is twee, of course she needs music videos to sell her garbage 'music'.

But she doesn’t need music videos to sell her music. She’s one of the few major successes of today, she could release any album and it would be a smash hit.

She uses gimmicks to sell the amount she does.

I think she just likes making videos.

You say some good things, R145.

I've been looking through documents from 1925 where radio companies were advertising for young people to be "radio singers".

"Radio singers" were different from proper singers because they didn't need to know anything projection, breath control or anything!.

R145 might want to take that back. She certainly doesn’t need music videos to sell this well.

Lol the transphobes are seething. In their mind Taylor should be a flop for “going woke” and casting trans.

That's a really bad song

He's a gorgeous transman. He's not a man. Done!

No reason to disparage him, for the anti-trans group. No reason to say he's a man when he's not, for the pro-trans group.

He's doing nothing wrong by just living his life. Taylor is doing nothing wrong by putting him in the video.

No, I have zero issue calling him a "he" even though he's not a man. It's just a shortcut and hurts no one to do so. I'd rather trans have their own pronouns, frankly. But until such time as they do? Calling them by what they superficially appear to be seems the easiest thing to do. He looks like man. So I call him he. If he looked too female? I'd call him she. Easy.

Now would I fuck him? Nope. I need a dick. I only am attracted to men. Not transmen.

R155, if you wouldn't fuck a transman because you need a dick, are only attracted to men and don't think transmen are men, then you're part of the "anti-trans group".
