Regarding your unorthodox opinion on gender, I think the net effect of such a parenting strategy will simply be more confusion and identity crises, and the increased likelihood of sterilizing the genetic line. The number of people who have suffered gender dysphoria is vanishingly small, especially in older generations, so this policy would benefit few children. Moreover, we can see that gender dysphoria rates increase depending on peer group and culture, suggesting it is not simply a genetic idiosyncrasy and can spread as a social contagion. There is also a philosophical assumption that removing all social impositions frees someone to be their authentic self, but the question is what is authenticity? There are many branching paths our lives take that shape how we evolve. If you had parents that took great interest in instilling good values and education, you would end up authentically different than if they had taken a laissez-faire approach and told you to figure it out yourself. The left seems to take the contradictory perspective that humans are generally blank slates shaped by their environment, yet also pushes a kind of genetic determinism on gender and sexuality.
