That still has unintended consequences though.

If you teach kids about sexuality before they have one most will put themselves in the category of bi or ace which only confuses them more when their actually sexuality kicks in. We see this happening with kids right now, whole classes identifying as queer but if a kid says they are straight or gay they get bullied.

If you give kids boxes they will put themselves in one.

Of course telling kids their sexuality might be fluid until they are in their mid twenties or they might go through phases is complete forbidden even through it's clearly observable fact.

Kids have enough stress with school in general, so this push for gender identity always struck me as "aren't you making children even more stressed?"

Lo and behold not a single queer kiddo i had interacted isn't burderned with some form of severe mental problems.

Seriously, all you need to tell a kid is the very basics of reproduction. Don’t even mention sexuality in school, period, unless for some reason a kid tells their teacher about a crush. That’s when you affirm that they can like whoever they want.
