As a top 2% earner and one of gainful employment, I don't believe this at all.
You begin with a toxic perspective, yet try to take an honorable position when boxed in a corner.
I know this may seem to be a nuanced position but I'll try to be really clear.
If my daughter turns out to be gay then I will accept her but I don't think it should be encouraged and promoted to a 12 year old.
Let me know know if this a reasonable position to hold. I see no conflict here.

You sound like the perfect parent for a gifted child.

Bruh, just let her create a TD account and restrict it to the OT lounge. Everyone here was in gifted in high school and had a 36 on the ACT. This is the place for her

Not true?, its so common there are already numerous academic studies about it, especially concerning teenage girls and the influence of social media in their decision to transition to another gender.
“Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.” Basically, it originated in July 2016 on three blogs (4thwavenow.com, Transgendertrend.com, and YouthTransCriticalProfessionals.org) that have a history of promoting anti-transgender propaganda. The term was intended to explain some parents’ observations that 1) their children came out as transgender seemingly suddenly, often during puberty, and 2) their children also had trans-identified peers and interacted with trans-themed social media.

My 12 yr old son acts dumb as frick, but he's tall, fast, and a cute boy. I hope he figures out how take care of himself at some point. We're all sports all the time right now, but they're each quite different. Hopefully he's developing at a balanced pace. Has his first real girlfriend...and that's a trip.

WTF?
Does she attend a quality private school or one of those private schools in which the academics sucks, but parents send their kid thier because they don't want their kid to be around black kids?

Have her tested for TIP. She gets to spend her summers at a variety of universities doing challenging work.
It's what I did and I loved it.

Gifted programs are designed to challenge kids intellectually. Many regular classrooms & curriculums have to focus on discipline and controlling kids before academics The worst thing you can do is leave a smart kid in non-challenging academic environment. That can often lead to boredom, acting out, and discipline problems.
Personally, I found the gifted programs my kids participated in provided a great foundation-they are doing great in college. Regarding the political angle, I can tell you there is no political agenda in advanced math, chemistry and half the subjects your child will take. Leaves you plenty of time to indoctrinate her.

Looking at your post, we may disagree on a few things. But we have daughters . We got that in common so I understand this situation having been there before.
Was it a sleep away camp for smart kids? How long was she there? And most importantly, what does smart girl think about her summer camp? How did she respond?
Did she grow at all in any way?
I obviously don't know your kid, but mine was smart but not confidant. But put in a group of smart kids who are mostly considered weirdos in their own school, she grew in ways that were pretty amazing in some ways and kind of scary in others. She found kids on her level that could challenge her, classes that forced out of her comfort zone in a safe place for her. Smart girl is very young but very smart and her peer group in her own
school is pretty small or maybe nonexistent.
So talk to smart girl and ask her what she thought of summer camp. You Probably already have heard enough. Mine cried uncontrollably when we left camp every year and always couldn't wait till next year. The thing is, these kids were important to her then, important to her growing up. I don't think she stays in touch with many/any of them now.
And yes, there will be influences you don't care for, but if you have raised her right then she will be okay. If you shelter her too much and she is as smart as you say then she will see through all that and seek out that which she does not know but that appeals to her in some way.
Rebellion is a little bit necessary to grow up. She will whether you want it to happen or not. Better now while she is still in your house than when she comes home from college covered in tattoos and pregnant. That's extreme, I know, but rebellion will happen in big and small ways. Always keep talking to her so she knows you love her and wil LISTEN to her.
Mine has grown to be someone I'm quite proud of even though we had some rocky spots. Yours will too
I know TLDR, trust her she will be okay

I hate progressives/Marxists as much as anyone but don’t protect her from it. If she relates to people like that and is happy then let her be around them. If you keep her from it she will resent it and reject your views. Let her be her own person and develop her own views, and just try to influence her as positively as you can. A lot of gifted young people go through a progressive phase and end up conservative later in life, because they’re smart and life lessons will teach them.

My son was in gifted/talented programs. I don't know what sorta "marxist conditioning" you're talking about, that sounds weird and a little stupid.
Anyway, get her into pull out programs at her school and/or full emersion. She'll do much better in her own peer group.

Actually, it's true. I have a shy, gifted daughter who used to like boys. But, she gets immediate acceptance in the LBGTQRSTUVLMNOPWHATEVER du jour group because she is also a social outcast.
Combine the social acceptance with the fact that kids this age go through a natural exploration of sexuality, then you have an issue that needs to be addressed.
It's hard to parent these ultrasmart kids. Just let them know you love them no matter what and things will work out okay in the end.
