Tomboyfool­ery

-

SIR – A friend and I read with some amusement that “girls who do not like dolls are treated as transgende­r” (report, November 23).

Neither of us liked dolls or the colour pink. We wore trousers, preferred animals and cars, and were entirely happy with the body we had been born into. We were called “tomboys”.
