I watched the first & second clips. I found them to be extremely disgusting. For one thing, Jared was TOO stereotypically boyish. Siblings often go to opposite extremes in order to obtain parental attention. Where was the father in that family? Seemed to me as if the mother was pushing the "diversity" on her kids. The "expert" said the mother treated the boys in the same way, but if that was true, what's with the pastel pony v/s GI Joe bedroom themes? Presumably, the boys did not decorate their own rooms. And Adam's nail job was professional, with airbrushed designs. The mom took her son out for a manicure. Adam probably likes the attention he gets from his "gender nonconformity." Look how he described the scene at school when he showed his peers his manicure. He was eating up the attention.
My guess is this:
1) The mother is a social liberal, in love with the idea of "accepting diversity."
2) The father is out of the picture, or plays a minimal role.
3) The mother noticed different tendencies in the boys at an early age, but instead of affirming Adam's maleness, she pushed him in the opposite direction, so that she could feel as if she was being a supportive and accepting mother.
My older son liked to play with Barbies when he was younger, and he was allowed. I think the main fascination was working the snaps & velcro on the outfits. Even at age 7, he is not a rough-and-tumble type of boy, like my 5-year-old. However, if asked to describe himself, he would NEVER say he was "like a girl." That poor kid (Adam) needs to be affirmed in what he IS--- a BOY. Perhaps a gentler, more sensitive type of boy, but a BOY, nonetheless. Kids that young do not decide to be that way; they are guided or encouraged.
Blessed be Your name, when the sun's shining down on me, when the world's "all as it should be," blessed be Your name!
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there's pain in the offering, blessed be Your name!
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord!
Blessed be Your name!
