At a young age, I'd tell them the real thing using scientific terms.
I don't even get the last questions. I don't see how wanting children in the future has to do with what kids want at a young age or what that has to do with young children wanting to change their gender. To kind of answer, I'd say wanting to have kids in the future is more important of a matter than any trivial thing a child may want at a young age.
In my post I said there must be some failing on the parents part if their children already have it in mind that they want children. They shouldn't even be thinking about having children.
There is a connection between wanting children in the future, what kids want at a young age, and young children wanting to change their gender.
For instance in the documentary, one child wanted to have kids in the future because she wanted to become a mother.
Without taking hormones, puberty blockers, etc than he felt that he could not become a mother in the future.
He wanted to live as a girl in order to become a mother, which is a motivator for him to have a sex change.
That's the connection that I'm talking about.
Why shouldn't children be thinking about having children in the future?
If you tell them how they were made and how much you love them, wouldn't your child also want a child to love as well?

You can also tell who's ignorant and who's not.
For the record my parents are Nigerian.
What does it mean to be a man?
If a woman fits all the criteria of your definition of a man, can they be considered "men"?

Right! Which is why I hate around Fathers day when I see Tweets/FB Statuses saying, "Happy Fathers Day to my Mother. Who is my Mother and Father."

But question for you and others, can we really blame the parent for every instance of this? The parent can "do their job" and the kid still fall for social pressures. They see gender confusion around them with their peers and teens and the parents can't hide that at all from their kids. It isn't as simple as teach the kids and they will do as you say.

White/western societies are a lot more liberal and "progressive" than third world societies in general. Gender "incongruence"/dysphoria exists in many other cultures but strong societal prohibition and a lack of medical technology makes sex change not an option.
