The white stripe in the center of the most prominent trans pride flag represents those who are intersex, transitioning and undefined or nonbinary. In other words it's about the differentiation of people who stand apart from society's traditional gender ideas

Seeing that and having your only concern be "cis kids are going to be told they're trans!" isn't really helping as much as someone might think it is. At best it's misguided and underdeveloped. At worst it's, well, worse
The idea of innate gender is a belief system. Children should be taught (at an age when they have enough theory of mind to understand) about different beliefs. They shld not be told when they are too young to assess the claim that they & everyone else has innate gender identity.

You might as well argue that you shouldn't explain that the earth is round until they can understand that some people don't believe it is. Just because you don't believe someone may have an innate sense of who they are doesn't mean medical science or lived experience agrees

But the earth being round is an accepted scientific fact with lots of evidence, its not a belief. That's your difference.
