No, not so much. Most of those are fairly common behaviors to see from kids. My kid cried one time because she couldn't be brown like her friend at school. Saying "i feel like a girl" can mean a million things, or nothing, depending on context. And then there's age to take into account. That adds to context as well as the ability of the child to even express complex ideas like gender. Some of those things are complete social constructs, like the color pink being feminine, or just so vague as to be meaningless, like "gravitating towards femme objects and ideas vs traditionally boyish objects and ideas." If this is the assessment process for diagnosing children with gender issues and later drugging them to stop their puberty, I think I'm even more shocked than I was.
