Well, a 4-month-old baby isn't being told much of anything.
Gender and sex are different. Sex is the physical presentation of a person. Gender is their internal identity.
The child shouldn't be told what their gender is. Most people have a gender that is consistent with their sex. Some don't. Either way is fine.
Internal gender identity is a popular myth, MistressNomad. It is a belief. It cannot be scientifically proven. Belief is the death of intelligence. I may wish myself Japanese, but it is not so. I may wish I had no gender but it is not so. I may wish myself an animal, but it is not so. A dog may wish itself a cat, but it is not so. It is internal confusion that locks both religion, and science.
The child should also not be told what its gender isn't. If the child is a female, do not lie to it by telling her she is a boy or tenderness. Who are you to say that? What do you know?
Some of the other posts, to me, seem merely annoying. I will not bother putting them through their paces.
