True. I often find that leads to "Predictable" being the word of the year.

This never made sense to me, Lola was a transvestite, boys will be girls, except for Lola? What a bunch of BS.

Hummm...I always thought she was just a plan simple everyday skank...

That's the beauty of the song, especially the last verse, it never definitively spells it out whether it's a man or woman ...

That’s why I like Reed’s “Take a Walk on the Wildside” no interpretation needed: “she was a he.”

He literally says he knows he is a man and so is Lola, there is no confusion to be had. The part about boys will be girls and boys will be girls and it being a crazy mixed up world except for Lola speaks to Lola knowing what Lola is and not being confused about it not to the world at that time having the same clarity about her birth gender.

"Well, I'm not dumb but I can't understand
Why she walked like a woman but talked like a man
Oh my Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola, lo lo lo lo Lola"

Kinks way ahead of their time as far as trannies go.

That's not what he says:

Well, I'd left home just a week before
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand
She said, "Little boy, gonna make you a man"
Well, I'm not the world's most masculine man
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man
And so is Lola

That can be interpreted two ways .... again, the puckish beauty of the song.

I do love the wiggle room they create but all of the kinks have said it is based on their interactions with drag queens or transvestites although they all have different variations of the inspirations all are consistent that it was based off of people that were more than manly girls.
