What I'm saying is that kids that age don't know anything about supposedly being 'trans'.
A five year old boy isn't going to say that he's a girl unless some adult tells him that.
He's going to assume that he's a boy ... CUZ THATS WHAT HE IS.
No one is telling him or her that.
But there ARE children who do insist that they're the wrong gender. And some of them do have genetic abnormalities that would match this and that would be in play from birth onward. They're rare, but they do exist. No one socializes them into this.

With these conditions, someone would present as a different gender (and remember that sex hormones are present in the body even as infants)

It's about 2 percent of the population: https://www.hrw.org/report/2017/07/25/i-...hildren-us
In other words, about the same percentage as people who are trans.
So they're trying to identify kids who feel this (apparently genetic) difference earlier and help them and their parents decide the right gender, rather than having them grow up and be bullied for their differences in school and then make an awkward transition as an adult.
