In the song, "Lola," by the Kinks, am I not correct in assuming that Lola was a man?

Question

Distorted View, but that could be taken two ways: 1. She was a man, or 2. She's glad HE's a man, too. But YES, I think we're correct in our assumption!

Answer 1

In the book "The Kinks: The Official Biography", Ray Davies says that he was inspired to write this song after the band manager Robert Wace had spent the night dancing with a transvestite. Davies said,

“ I remembered an incident in a club... Robert Wace had been dancing with this black woman, and he said, ‘I’m really on to a thing here.’ And it was OK until we left at six in the morning and then I said, ‘Have you seen the stubble?’ He said ‘Yeah,’ but he was too pissed [drunk] to care, I think.

Answer 2

Lola is a grandmother.

Answer 3

Well Im not the worlds most masculine man
But I know what I am and Im glad Im a man
