This is such a problem. A well meaning relative recently said to one of our 5 year old twin girls:
so are there any boys in your class that you have crushes on?
I was like, why would you even go there, at age 5? We do not say crap like that to our kids and I never will.
I am not a big fan of this “anyone can be any gender at any time, it is all in your head” concept, but I completely agree kids should be free to be kids and be and do whatever they want without adults pushing an explicit gender narrative on them. That is bullshit.
