No music video in recent memory has captured the gay zeitgeist quite like Troye Sivan‘s sensual visual for “One of Your Girls.” You know, that one where he donned stunning drag to give Ross Lynch a lap dance?
While most gay men could spot Sivan’s body signature pout from a mile away, we’ve got to hand it to the “Rush” singer’s styling and makeup team because his female transformation was truly jaw dropping.
The sleek and synthy bop documents a desperate attraction to a potentially heteroflexible man, and one that Sivan is willing to compromise his value for. “Give me a call if you ever get desperate,” he sings. “I’ll be like one of your girls.”
And it sounds like he might have some takers, judging by the number of viral reactions to his female persona. It’s safe to say the heteros, homos, and everyone in between are gagged.
In fact, YouTube brother-duo James and Justin Sampson (known for their online show Stay Spiritual) were positively stumped by it.
Watch.
In their video, which has already racked up 29,000 views, the dudes try to decipher meaning from the clip. And they hilariously miss the point, completely.
“It was a bunch of dudes and all of the sudden that woman’s in it,” Justin said as Sivan begins dancing like Britney Spears, adding, “I feel like maybe it’s the lead singer as a woman.” His brother firmly answed, “I don’t think so.” LOL.
Perhaps their reaction is best summarized by Justin’s remark: “There’s an LGBTQ-something going on in there.”
The video also confused Parisian creator Fabrizio Moroni’s straight friend (who remarked that Troye was “not manly enough for him”).
“Wouldn’t you go for him if you didn’t know he was a man,” Moroni asked. “That’s… yeah,” he replied.

Other internet boys, like YouTube and TikTok reactor Bennshouts, recognized the video for its twist on sex. “It absolutely makes you challenge your own gender, thoughts, or sexuality and things like that,” he explained.

Still, one of the best reactions came from TikTok user @goobigubbi and his extremely supportive mom. Her mouth went completely agape when the drag reveal started.
“Troye is gorgeous, is he famous,” she asked, before telling him to give her son a call. “What are we going to do, bump purses?” her son replied. “Bump something,” she retorted.
We stan!

And yet, the video even confused some of the gays. “B*tch, that’s Dua Lipa,” a friend said in Dan D.’s reaction video. The ultimate compliment!

However, our ENTIRE reaction to the video can be summarized with this clip from YouTube creator Josh Dove: nervous giggles.

I didn’t know that it was Troy the first time I was watching the video – I thought that was a female supermodel!

@dick, mikha, SoPucky : Come on guys. Just because he doesn’t like guys dressed in women’s clothes doesn’t make him a bad person or backwards. Stop being such bitchs, we still have every right to like who we want and what we want. Yes I know he’s a bit too “pro-republican” but he has his reasons. How do you say it again? Before you judge a man, walk a mile in his shoes.

@Stefano, your comment is clearly misdirected. Wiseman is the one who had to throw his judgement into the ring.
If you’re not into drag, that’s all good and fine. But to make a disparaging comment that this isn’t “progress” (who was arguing that it was, btw?) because some people are is doing the exact thing you, Stefano, are claiming others are doing.
So many ugly opinions on here. It’s real easy. If you don’t have some nice to say, shut the f up.

@Stefano
Thank you, Stefano. Perfectly said.
Full disclosure: I don’t usually call myself a Republican as they do and say some really stupid things. The battle for House Speaker, case in point. I usually call myself a conservative.
That hasn’t always been the case. I’m a former Democrat. Voted for Dukakis in 1988 and Clinton in 1992 and 1996.

@boblrice
I asked a simple question; which no one answered. I wasn’t “throwing judgement into the ring.”
I just wanted to know if anyone thought it was progress in our community for a gay man to dress provocatively as a woman to titillate straight men. Simple question.
bachy
And a very legitimate question, too.

Of course it’s progress and I’m guessing people didn’t explain it because it should be painfully obvious! Progress is what? Moving forward or onward in space and time. What would have happened to a man that did this say, 30 years ago? 50 years ago? 100 years ago? 500 years ago? If your idea of what would happen to him kept getting worse the further you went back, you would not only be correct you would be traveling backwards down the road of regression. The reason it regresses as you go back is because we have progressed forward and are working on people being treated with understanding and acceptance.

Good video and song. That said whoever did the eye makeup needs to learn how to do eyes. A little eyeliner line on the top and bottom of the eyelids will cause the eyes to appear bigger and open. Do not do it heavy, as it will give the eyes a “Goth” look from the 80’s and 90’s.
