The survey on attitudes to trans people (Britons not bitterly polarised over trans equality, research finds, 16 June) breaks down the responses by age bands. I see that I am a baby boomer (age 55 to 74). My wife, however, is in the 75+ band, which is called silent gen. Whoever thought up this label has obviously never met anyone in that age group. Most of the ones I know are anything but silent.

• The Guardian often runs items highlighting the difficulties in holiday areas where second home buyers have priced local populations out of the housing market. Was it not inappropriate and insensitive to publish “Homes in historic seaside resorts” in the fantasy house hunt (17 June)?
