wakan Term said to sometimes have been used to describe gender and sexual diversities among some Indigenous North American peoples, namely the Lakota. It has been translated into English in various ways, such as “powerful” or “sacred” (as Wakan Tanka, also rendered as Wakȟáŋ Tȟáŋka, is typically translated as “Great Spirit” or “Great Mystery”). Wakan is used in many different ways. Roots of certain poisonous plants can be said to be wakan. An individual who is considered “crazy” or “insane” is said to have be wakan because a “bad spirit” has entered their body. Alcoholic beverages are likewise said to be wakan for inducing such states.

The lyrics of the song describe a series of individuals and their journeys to New York City, including Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling, Joe Dallesandro, Jackie Curtis, and Joe Campbell. On 12 May 2017, the student union, known as the Central Student Association, at the University of Guelph in Ontario issued an apology via social media for playing “Walk on the Wild Side” at a campus event, saying: “It’s come to our attention that the playlist we had… on Thursday contained a song with transphobic lyrics… we’d like to unreservedly apologize for this error in judgement [sic]”. Apparently the lyrics in question were the lines regarding Holly Woodlawn: “Holly came from Miami F.L.A. / Plucked her eyebrows on the way / Shaved her legs and then he was a she / She said, ‘Hey babe, take a walk on the wild side’”. Following the apology several international news outlets ran headlines with friends, colleagues, and biographers of Lou Reed coming to the song’s defense, with most citing historical context as reasoning.

[On this page, it is noted that “another example of what Wilson called his early ‘sexual perverseness’ was one he shared with other creative individuals, like the poet Rainer Maria Rilke. As a young boy Wilson loved to dress up in his mother’s clothes, including her underwear. Authorities such as the pre-Freudian sexologist Havelock Ellis suggest that such behaviour ‘indicates a tendency to homosexuality’, as did, for Ellis, Wilson’s attachment to his mother and dislike of his father. But Wilson never observed any trace of homosexuality in his makeup.”] Google Books: MUDIDAAAQBAJ ISBN-10: 0399173080 ISBN-13: 9780399173080 Zagria. “Thoughts while reading (about) Colin Wilson” (31 May 2017).
