I'm not sure where you're from, but it's pretty hot and heavy in the student base within our public schools, and I'm in the bible belt. My daughter had a little girl that her friend group played with in 3rd grade that made a huge to-do about being a boy down to the name and clothing. They talk about sex evidently quite a bit in middle school now too.

I'm in New England, so I expect it to be really pervasive up here. I have no problem with sex education, I remember in elementary school we had puberty talks with the nurse. But the problem I think I will have is if the schools push "anybody can be trans and it's OK". I believe that it's not that simple, it's a mental health problem that should be addressed by therapy. But thank you so much for your advice. It's something I will have to be prepared for!
