It starts before then. Babies only a few days old show a preference for Duplo or dolls depending on their biological sex.

Do you have a study? I can hardly imagine that given that babies can't even focus their eyes at that age.

It's been shown that when a baby grips the finger of an adult, the adult tugs the baby's arm if they think the baby is male and hold their hand static if they think the baby is female.

I can't find the paper, though.
