Sorry, but i fail to see what the problem is here. There are now lots of primary school transgender kids and they seem to deal with the whole thing a lot more matter of factly than previous generations. There is very little difference in terms of social integration between transgender/transexual and intersex. And there is even less difference between intersex and gender fluid.
There is a whole movement of parents now who are challenging the system so their princess boys can wear what they want to school. This is often not about gender change at all but simply about equality and freedom of expression.
I think maybe there's too much overthinking on this subject. For the kids it's a lot simpler than we make it out to be.
Today's culture is hugely sexist, seemingly genderizing everything, but this is a fairly recent trend. A century ago is was traditional to dress young girls and boys the same way and there was not all the focus on what someone's gender is. It is mostly mass schooling and mass media that changed this. Today's rampant sexism is a product of centralized social institutions over which individuals have little control.
