If we changed the argument from gender to race, it should appear just as ludicrous. If someone lies about his physical appearance and claims he is Jesus, we would be all over him. Buf if someone lies about his appearence and says he is a gender that he isn't, that is the new normal?
Just because his parents are living on the planet "woo-woo" doesn't meant that the rest of the world has to go with it.
He wants to wear a dress and play with dolls? That's ok. He's a cross-dressing boy who likes dolls.
You're committing the appeal to definition fallacy. Just because the boys bathroom nowadays is defined as the place where humans with penises go doesn't mean it should be defined that way.
This is not unlike how fundies say gay marriage is wrong because marriage is "defined as between a man and a woman."
