As others have said, keep doing what you’re doing. Let your kid play how they want and they’ll figure out some of it on their own. Eventually, introduce the idea of trans and enby people in a passing way, not one fishing for an answer or suggesting something about your kid.
What I’ll add is that you should look out for your kid when they interact with (or eventually interact with) kids who already subscribe strongly to the gender binary. Kids will share their opinions (and random shit that pops into their head) freely and there may be conflict or internalization of that binary or shame. You can’t protect your kid from society’s patriarchical gender binary, only prepare them and be there for them when there are conundrums.
