Interesting segment. While I have felt that even at a young age, a child could know and begin to express a sexual preference, I never thought that a young child would state their gender identity.

While we are born "anatomically" male or female, do we intrinsically know if we are male or female? What defines us as male or female? Socialization and so-called "gender roles" play a big part of our gender identity.

Does "Jack" having a liking/preference for dolls and liking to play dress up mean that he can then state he is female, or is it just a younger sibling emulating an older one? One can expose a "boy" to play with dolls, and a "girl" to play with trucks and balls (reversal of the "traditional" gender roles), and dress opposite to his/her gender, but it does not mean they will state they are the opposite gender. Is it our brain, or hormones that make us male or female?

I do not have children, but how would you react if your young child stated that they "know" they really are the opposite gender?
