do males and females have physical differences when they are children? i notice that even at that age people can pick out a male or female voice from a child even if they don't see them in person. i also notice distinct features, but they are more subtle, and it's definately alot easier for a girl/boy who cross dresses to fool others, but they still might notice something just isn't quite right.

not a lot, except for genitalia. Depends how young you mean.

My daughter is often considered a boy (2yrs old). She has short hair and we tend to dress her in pretty non gender specific clothing.

As they get older I think behaviour starts to play a bigger role in how you 'id' them. (not to mention clothing). Personally I think behaviour being equal, with the right hair cut and clothes kids would pass easily as either right up to puberty.

i mean any age before puberty. maybe elementary school aged.

You probably did not catch my late addition above "Personally I think if behaviour being equal, with the right hair cut and clothes kids would pass easily as either right up to puberty."

I think this is just your perception putting a spin on it. But you probably can't discount the effects of socialisation on the way boys and girls talk.

No. That's what blue and pink are for.

It's not necessarily just perception putting a spin on it. A lot of he gender difference in voice comes not so much from differences in the various organs but from how one uses them. Girls learn to talk like girls and boys learn to talk like boys way before the physical changes happen.
