I remember when…
I thought I was all alone, I didn’t think anyone else in the world felt the way I did. When I first saw news articles about Christine Jorgensen and Renee Richards I didn’t connect with them because of the way the media portrait them, that wasn’t me. It you looked transsexual in a dictionary or an encyclopedia the definition said “perversion” or “mental disorder” and I didn’t think that fit me.
One day in the summer of 1970 I was washing my car in the driveway and a song came on the radio. I wasn’t paying particle attention to it but then I heard the words…
That got my attention and I stopped to listen…
There was a song about the way I felt!
There must be other people who felt the same way that I did if there is a song about us.
I am not alone!

Well I'm not dumb but I can't understandHmm…?
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man
Oh my Lola la-la-la-la Lola la-la-la-la Lola
That got my attention and I stopped to listen…
Girls will be boys and boys will be girlsWhoa! I sat down and listened to the song.
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola
La-la-la-la Lola
There was a song about the way I felt!
There must be other people who felt the same way that I did if there is a song about us.
I am not alone!
