I dont think youre right about that. Tell a six year old that some boys like girls but some boys like boys/ girls like girls, etc and I think kids of any age can start to wrap their head around the idea

I think you vastly overestimate what children understand at these ages. They still have no concept of time. Calendar days don't make sense to them, they only understand day and night. Some of them can read (a little) and some of them can do (very) basic arithmetic. If you are lucky, they can somewhat dress and groom themselves.

'Magic' thinking - like I can be Batman someday, or 'I think I'll turn into a whale and swim in the ocean when I'm older' will slowly start to fade, but is still very much a thing at this age.

And in answer to your statement about boys/girls, most will associate with their own sex at this age. Boys like boys and don't want anything to do with girls and vice versa.
