Swiftly followed by Bowie releasing Queen Bitch in 1971 and Lou Reed releasing Take A Walk on The Wild Side in 1972.
Bowie and Reed were both heavily involved in the New York drag scene at the time.
Lou Reed also wrote Candy Says with the Velvet Underground about Candy Darling's desire to escape her gender assigned at birth.
Good shout. I'd also argue there's basically no way to read Bowie's Rebel Rebel that isn't about gender fuckery of some kind. I'd argue very strongly that it's an AMAB character presenting femme.
