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

Not sure if the point is positive representation so much as representation, since in the original image the guy seems to be saying trans people simply didn't exist in the 80s
