It bugs me that people insist Vilia is male/a man. She's clearly a trans girl Her entire dialogue makes it very clear. See the dialogue:

 Vilia: Oh, my. What a lovely young lad you are. Do you need something from me? What's that? You've heard about a man who snuck into Gerudo Town? Oh, I don't know anything about him... Sorry I couldn't be more help
 You're... a man?
 Vilia: Oh, my! You sure say the funniest things, young man. Anyway, if you don't need anything, you should be off, then.
 Vilia: Well, well... you still haven't give up on your search for the man who snuck into Gerudo Town? I told you I didn't know anything. Do you always doubt someone's word?

Pretending to be a woman does not mean transgender. If someone finds out he is a man, he will lose access to Gerudo Town. Link approaches him to illegally purchase women's clothing. It's like a black market transaction. If Vilia was a cocaine dealer, he would not admit to being one. Everyone believes Link is a woman while in the clothing, and treats him like one. It's nothing more than a disguise and a facade.

Regardless of all this, this is not how we operate at Zelda Wiki. There is no source explicitly saying he is transgender. There are plenty saying he is male however. Sorry, but we can't change this. Hylian pi (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Really a Hylian?

My question is, are we certain Vilia is actually a Hylian? I've encountered other players who assume he's a male Gerudo. While we can't verify that he's a Gerudo, are we able to verify he's a Hylian either? If we're merely assuming he's a Hylian, isn't that speculation? Perhaps his "Race" should be listed as "Unknown" until there's verification either way. - Dermotmacflann (talk) 07:53, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are many sources from characters referring to Vilia as a Hylian. A few examples:
"There was that pretty Hylian gal at the general store. It's unusual to see a Hylian girl dressed like a Gerudo..." - Robsten
"I saw a Hylian vai merchant at the inn before. She was wearing traditional Gerudo clothes, which caught my eye." - Ripp
"There's a Hylian vai who likes to relax on the roof. Though in the afternoon, it's probably too hot up there." - Shaillu
