Ok, I'll admit it. My dinosaur like brain is struggling with this.

How can kids so young be so certain that their assigned gender (for want of a better phrase) is incorrect? At 6 years old I wasn't sure if blackberry jelly was better than raspberry.
Surely such thoughts don't emerge until you start puberty or close to it?
Am I being cynical and wondering if this is a modern affliction brought about by "experts" telling people we need to be aware of such things or are we in an enlightened society were children finally feel free to discuss such issues?
