My experience is that gender variant children will be gender variant from the day they're born, so they will never have the option of not having to confront it at an early age. Other children will be wondering what's up with them from day one.
If you don't mention it until the other children are grown up, it just means that you have waited until they have had a thorough conditioning in what society considers normal and will be less able to cope with it when it does come up.
