Unless you also assert that Enid Blyton herself was closeted trans then no, it is much more likely George was meant to be a tomboy who rejected feminine stereotypes and gender roles so much she wanted to be treated like a boy because being a boy was the only way not to be a girl and be held to feminine standards in that time.
That's like saying all the historical figures who disguised themselves as men to study/work in a line barred to women at the time were all 100% trans (which is something a lot of people do, I'm aware). Were some of them trans? Maybe. But most just wanted to do a thing women weren't allowed to do and presenting as male was the only way to do it.
Historical context matters.

This. It feels like a lot of people can't seem to grasp the concept that someone can reject or dislike traditional gender roles while still being cis. They seem to believe that if you don't want to perform femininity/masculinity the "right" way then that automatically means you must be trans, which is a stupidly regressive way to think because gender roles are social constructs and not everyone is going to fit neatly into them due to the fact that femininity and masculinity are spectrums, not binaries.
