What happens? Shot the parents for stupidity.
Nine years old - there is no sexual identity.
These parents are not parents at all.
Poor child.

Nine years old - there is no sexual identity.

Baloney! At nine years old (indeed, much younger) boys are very much aware of being boys (and not girls); girls are very much aware of being girls (and not boys). They may not be fully aware of all the ramifications of that difference, but they're certainly aware of the difference.
