It depends who raised that child. There are children currently raised by queer and trans people who have very different ideas of woman versus you. Children also tend to appreciate fairness and know not to name call, so respecting gender is pretty easy for them. They play pretend all the time so someone wanting to be something unexpected is definitely okay with kids.
That's fine that you repress your gender to fit the status quo and traditional role of a man. Kinda like gender Stepford Wives. That's allowed and probably won't give you brain cancer later.
Some people like having gender euphoria and happy feelings about their gender, which they can come up with for themselves as their own ideal. We don't need to make everyone cool suffer because of society's lack of imagination.
I don't repress my gender, I just don't care about how I'm perceived beyond its how convenient it is to go with the flow.
I mean I don't actually care what you do with your gender. But it doesn't sound like you experience gender euphoria by your own description of being agender (not identifying as a man) but performing gender as a man. It also sounds like you lack introspection about how the way you see gender, which is subjective and being projected onto others. So those things tend to mean you repress your gender because you don't even understand that what you're projecting is an idealized version of who'd you'd be if you were that gender/person.
Okay. I don't really appreciate the armchair psychology, because you're not a mind reader.
