Here's Susie Green, CEO of the UK charity Mermaids talking about knowing that her son Jack was probably gay before he was two, and how this was unacceptable to her homophobic husband.

Susie's actions show she is a major homophobe herself. She socially transitioned Jack into Jackie as a little kid, took him to the US to get put on puberty blockers when he was 12, then flew him to Thailand when he was 15 so he could get his balls cut off and his penis reconfigured on his 16th birthday. She later went on to become head of Mermaids, which promotes medical transition for kids likely to be gay, despite the fact that the means used - puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries - will cause these children to be sterile; to have diminished libido and sexual function, or none at all; to be at risk for a number of serious health problems like brittle bones, blood clots, heart attacks, stroke and diabetes; and to suffer a drop in IQ of 8-9 points.

How can you even tell whether a child is gay or straight at that age? Isn't that just another form of sexualizing children?

You can't tell that a kid is gay or straight at that age. Given the ability to express themselves freely all children will have a mixture of what society views as feminine and masculine hobbies and mannerisms.

However, some people are so deeply homophobic that they view anything is even slightly effeminate to mean that a boy is gay. Here is a mother who, in 2013, murdered her 4 year old son because she thought he was gay. Here is a story from 2010 about a 17 month old boy beaten to death by his mother's boyfriend for "acting like a girl." Here is another from 2005 about a 3 year old beaten to death by his father because he thought he was gay. There are more stories like this as well, these are just the first few I found.
