Taylor’s fame offers a case study in the "pornification" of LGBTQ+ culture and the role of adult entertainment in the coming-out process for many individuals.

While primarily known for solo and transgender scenes, Taylor’s work was characterized by high production values and a focus on her agency. She worked with top-tier studios like Evil Angel, Gender X, and Transsensual, helping to elevate the production quality of trans adult cinema. Her collaborations with prominent cisgender female performers also helped bridge the gap between the "straight" and "trans" categories of the industry.
