Removed, transphobia. The whole point isn't making kids think they are non-binary, it's to let kids who already know they are non-binary that they are normal and loved for who they are.

It's amusing to see cis-het extremists try to hold these two competing ideas in their heads:

Sexuality is entirely a choice and you can be tricked or peer pressured into having romantic feelings for another person
There is a CORRECT Sexuality and an INCORRECT Sexuality, written in the firmament of heaven. Any comment or situation that causes you to question your cisgendered or heterosexual nature is an attack on your person.

Like, which is it? Are we all naturally gender-fluid and chasing the latest popular sexual trend? Or is there a rigid biological mandate that's supposed to keep everyone straight?

Also, why are you obsessed with making babies? Just endlessly fixated on having more and more and more kids, as quickly as possible? Everything about human sexuality seems to be rooted in the theory that dudes need to be fucking and ladies need to be getting pregnant constantly.
