I can still remember from when I was a kid, and I e seen this over the years with controls friends and relatives and even strangers- up to a certain age it was completely normal to go into the “wrong gender” restroom with your parent, sibling, guardian etc. I don’t recall thinking anything odd about it, and most younger kids I’ve seen do the same don’t think anything is odd. Then you get to the age where your parents tell you you have to go on your own to the other restroom, or you get told not to follow them into the rest room. Then that seems odd- and the best they can tell you usually is that you just can’t, or that you’re too old for that, or maybe explain that you have to use the “boys” or “girls” room- which wasn’t really a thing to you before that day.

So we live most of our lives in this society where “boys and girls can’t —— together…” and up until a certain age for most kids- we don’t really understand WHY, and we tend to just accept that it is “because we are different” because that’s basically all we are really told up to that age where we start being told about or understanding the sex stuff. So you go to the <gender> bathroom and you go to the <gender> locker room and <gender> sauna/hot tub etc. and sometimes you get grouped as genders and that behavior doesn’t seem terribly natural in children until we’ve been told and it’s been drilled in to us that for some reason- we are different.

Of course most little kids don’t care- beyond maybe an odd curiosity for the sake of knowing- what the other has going on under their clothes. Most kids aren’t getting aroused this stuff. As an adult we hesitate to jump on Santa’s lap or notice it’s not quite flat- but most kids jump right on and aren’t really thinking about Santa’s junk or the implications or what Santa is thinking or feeling about that. As adults we tend to project sexuality onto children. It would be inappropriate for two adults or teens so we see it as inappropriate for them or seek to teach them how to behave later. So it’s not likely the case that most children have the anxieties of adults over such things. We just project our fears onto them.
