The Kinks released Lola, a song about a trans woman, in 1970

I just read the lyrics and it doesn't seem that positive. Am I wrong? It contains for example this line:

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
La-la-la-la Lola
La-la-la-la Lola

Ray doesn’t really cuss Lola - he’s just a bit surprised / disappointed that the pretty girl is… not physically a girl. It was probably a bit of an eye opener for a dude that only left home a week before. That’s how I’ve always understood it…

For a guy in 1970 it’s pretty accepting I reckon.
