The Russian pop duo t.A.T.u released their smash single "All The
Things She Said" 20 years ago this week. To this day, the bop is a
queer staple, but should it be?

From t.A.T.u to Britney Spears and Madonna, the early 2000s were
full of straight women dabbling in queerness for profit. In this
episode, senior producer Barton Girdwood sits down with author Jill
Gutowitz (Girls Can Kiss Now) to talk about how these moments gave
young queer millennials a taste of their sexuality even though it
was all an act. They discuss whether or not a false representation
can still be meaningful, and how the basic formula of "All The
Things She Said" gets lesbianism right — even though so much of it
is wrong.
