I believe in 'free expression' for children.......my house was/is full of trucks and Barbie dolls, etc.....the children feel like playing with whateer they choose. I never hid their gender, never felt the need to. They often chose their own clothes as well.....
We're they influenced by the 'world around them' as to their 'gender'/preferences? Sure......but they also never felt that it was a secret as to what body parts they have.....they got what they got (gender), they are who they are and they play and dress to their liking.
These parents are pushing their own agendas on an unsuspecting, innocent child. Why make him/her keep secrets? Your body parts are what they are.....you behave and choose what you choose....(clothes & toys)....
If one makes it a 'big deal', then it becomes a 'big deal'......
