Because her talent has never lived up to her birthright as Hollywood royalty, actress Drew Barrymore was perfect in the role of Dylan Mulvaney’s support human, passing the baton to a new generation of self-made gender royalty.

Wearing trousers and a suit coat, Barrymore knelt before the male influencer as the supplicant, “queering” the visual tableau of a submissive female stoking a man’s ego.
