Well said. I am also 61 and I didn't fit the mold of a CA girl back then; not a blonde and I am short. Oh, I am was a tomboy too. Actually, back then, we were just kids (until menses came, then, we were "little ladies"). There isn't anything wrong with either sex being great at sports, chess, math, cooking, sewing etc. It doesn't make you gay if you are a male and love vacuuming, or if you are a female and love mowing the lawn. It makes you a well rounded person having lots of skills.
((Big hugs to your cousin. Let her know this tomboy when she got older, started to like and even love some "girly" things that she disliked with a passion as a young teen. (The color pink, now love it for example.)
