Right, so it's bullying that's the problem, not the fact that the vast majority of kids have sex-based preferences for play and no amount of legislation will fix that.
I'm not saying there shouldn't be gender neutral stuff. Heck, as a parent, I tried to get as much of that kind of thing as possible both because I didn't want to force anything and because it makes hand-me-downs easier.
But the point is, the vast majority of kids do have sex-based preferences for play and other things.
Yes, we can accommodate those that don't, but the notion that all that stuff is merely a social construct flies in the face of lived experience and mountains of research.
Boys and girls also have different socialization tendencies. We can just pretend they aren't real, but that won't do any good and it won't help non-conforming kids not get bullied.
