They were things I absolutely loved as a child and one fond memory was of being on holiday with my parents in Devon and sitting on the beach reading FF books, that I bought with my pocket money from a seaside shop, under a towel to shelter from the wind and very bright sunshine. <br /><br />I never took the character of George as anything other than a Tomboy, a category of girl that I had encountered a lot during primary school and later in secondary school. George is not, as the trans rights activists try to claim, some precursor of trans identified children, she is merely a Tomboy a girl who likes stuff that would be seen as stereotypically boyish. Re-reading these books today I can again see that there's no trans aspect to George, she just likes fishing, exploring, going out in her boat and similar activities. She is also a counterpart to Anne who is everything that George is not but still plays a big part in the Five's adventures. <br /><br />The trans activists are traducing the character of George by claiming her as one of their own. George is a role model for those girls who are, to use a modern phrase, Geezerbirds not an encouragement for teenage girls to get their tits cut off by the modern day Mengele's of the gender identity cult.
