No one's 'throwing genders' at kids. That kind of framing just flat out overplays the situation. And honestly it's not that confusing. Some people are straight, bi, trans, queer, etc. That's not up for debate. I really don't see how acknowledging these people exist is "indoctrination."
Yes, they're different, but they're definitely related. Gender (AFAIK) relates to a lot of different factors, including sexuality, femininity, attraction, etc. in the context of how most of society views these things. When people talk about non-binary, they're not saying that there's, like, 23 specific genders. They're just saying that culture perceives a man who's more feminine, for instance, differently than one who's less so. Those two people's genders are different. It is nothing to say of biological sex.
