Sexuality develops at around the age of 6-8, body and self identity starts a couple years before then.
I’m not a child psychologist, but I’d make a guess that trans realisation in children are rare before the age of 3, but after that are mostly a question of maturity, support of environment, and how harsh social norms are.
Also, aren’t you still legally a child up to the age of 18? I’m pretty sure I’ve heard that sexuality and identity develop before then.
Oh, and in case you missed that part, trans isn’t about sexuality, it’s about identity; fitting in your own body, in your presentation of yourself, in how you are treated by others. Sexuality is it’s own separate beast, especially with all the stigma about it.
