I actually have an early memory from nursery and there was this one kid who liked to dress up like a girl. He was my friend and I didn't think anything bad of it, we were just playing as children do. The supervisors didn't make a fuss about it either because they understood that children express themselves as they see fit.
We had no idea what sex was at that age and if an "adult" had tried telling us about it at that time in our life we would have had a wtf moment.
My friend grew up and he is learned that he is gay. As far as I know he is now happily married to his love.
Children at that age are too young to understand such things and I think that you are well within your right to be horrified by this.
It's akin to grooming.

I would put you child in a different school or consider home schooling . They are far to young to deal with this information .

The issue here isn't about answering questions. It's about shoving it in kids faces when they are too young to even understand the concept of sexuality.
Once again, this cat is you:

As if you could actually force kids not to explore and ask questions. The idea is to make sure they learn.

Assuming your children attend public school? I'm not surprised how deep and early the desensitization and sexualization of our youth has become. I'm so scared for my children growing up during these times..
