It could I suppose.
But, the point is gender is recognized early.

A child begins to have an innate sense of their gender identity between ages 3 and 5. Around this time, they also start to pick up on the subtle and not-so-subtle gender expectations in their family, their daycare, their church and their community.
For some children and youth, the gender expectations that are connected to the sex they were assigned at birth don’t match or fit. Some children and youth will clearly identify that their gender is actually the opposite of the sex they were assigned at birth, indicating a transgender identity. Other children and youth may feel more in the middle when it comes to gender expectations, indicating a gender expansive identity.

There's an OK groomer joke in there somewhere.

How does an adult think that a damned 2 year old know this?

I agree with you on this. I've known I was attracted to women since I was about four and never could identify with what "woman" was culturally but was ok with being female if I could mentally live in a more male world. I realized I was bisexual when I was older and attracted to the odd man too.
Still, the child's developing sense of gender is theirs alone and it really bothers me to see parents make such a call about their child so young. I've known a couple young people who seemed completely the opposite gender until puberty and then they became extremely aligned with their genetic gender. One girl even had childhood friends that were shocked she was a girl when meeting later in life.
So I don't think gender and sexuality are alien to children but their primitive form of it can be so easily distorted by wishful parents or worse, abused. I had orgasms that woke me out of my sleep as early as three years old. It was rare but thank god no adult decided I was "ready"

My question is how is this not child abuse? We do not allow children the right to participate in adult activities until 18 but they can transition at 2? These parents are sick and that child needs to be taken from them. I absolutely hate human garbage who ruin their children's lives with their disgusting agendas and ideology.
