Just call it "sexism". They're literally anti-male.

Is this supposed to be portraying teaching kids about trans people at a young age as bad thing?

No, of course not. It's merely pointing out that if they aren't brainwashed before they're old enough to be aware of their physical bodies, they'll find it impossible to pretend that they can be the opposite gender, just as kids will learn about human nature being consistent across imagined people groups such that making them racist later in life becomes very difficult. Just a comparison of equal ideologies.

It's true that it's harder to hoodwink people once their capacity for critical thinking comes online, but gender is a social construct. What you're talking about is biological sex.

Those terms are synonymous. What you're thinking about is personal expression. Your gender is your biological sex, and what the left erroneously calls gender is the individuals personal expression, which often involves either conforming to or rejecting social constructs associated with their gender. But the left has blurred the distinction by suggesting that a physical, surgical alteration of the genitals is "gender affirming" which inherently ties gender and biological sex together as to be one. If gender wasn't based on physical, biological traits, then surgery would be absurdly unnecessary when somebody wanted to transition. Also, the mere fact that we call men who self identity as women "trans women" shows that everyone is in agreement with the fact that their gender is biological. Otherwise why would you say "trans"? In any appropriate use, their term "trans" must mean "not" or "counterfeit". And all of this is the point of my meme. Once a child knows they're a boy or a girl, they also know they are not the opposite. With the proper education, they should be confident about their gender long before middle school, even if they're not entirely educated about their cultures social norms when it comes to expressing their gender.
In short, either you can pee on a campfire or you can't. Your subjective personal expression doesn't change your objective personal existence.

You're confusing "the left blurring the distinction" between sex and gender with your refusal to acknowledge there is one. The terms sex and gender are related, but hardly synonymous. Any published dictionary will corroborate this. I'd say biological sex is expression--an expression of chromosomal configuration--and even that isn't precisely binary, as evidenced by intersex (hermaphrodite) individuals. Gender, meanwhile, is only expressive when it's expressed. Inner feelings are not inherently performative, nor are they easily mutable. In fact, it is easier to change ones physical sex than it is to change ones sense of gender identity. If it wasn't, most people probably wouldn't go under the knife for the sake of aligning what's between their legs with what's in their heart. Saying a person can change their gender identity one way or the other is like saying they can change their sexual orientation, and you sound too educated to be that ignorant.

Girls can piss on camp fires too, if they're careful. Just more steam on the booty.

In one sense, we can both acknowledge that part of this disagreement is semantics. My generation used the terms sex and gender as synonymous, where as politics has caused both terms to be used differently, but neither with clarity. This is part of my complaint. You can decide to redefine a word, but it's invalid to then tell me I'm using it wrong, whereas it remains valid for me to say you're using the word wrong until there is a majority acceptance of the new use, and there is far from majority acceptance of the new definitions.

You attempt to claim that the subjective gender identity is harder to change than the objective physical gender, or they wouldn't go under the knife to make the body match their heart, but in doing so, aren't you again acknowledging that gender is physical? One doesn't get surgery to become a vegan, or a Jew, or a Lakers fan. And a woman doesn't become a trans male by getting breast implants. Even the kind of surgery supports a traditional definition of male vs female.

Furthermore, you need to find some solid stats on trans experience. The majority of young trans identifying people eventually grow out of it. The majority never go as far as drugs and surgery. But even those that do remain self loathing and suicidal even a decade after the surgery. There is a growing community of detransitioners on social media trying to correct the lies that convinced them to get surgery or hormones in the first place. I suggest you hear it from their own mouths. It's not hard to find on YouTube, though you will need to have an open mind.

As for changing ones sexual orientation, I hate to degrade your pristine opinion of me, but I've heard too many people telling the tale of becoming gay, which often involves abandoning their wife and children, and far too many people telling the tale of choosing to leave their homosexual lifestyles, which they describe as being liberated.
