Children will try to please their parents. So if their parents make a big fuss over certain behaviors, they will develop those behaviors.
I wonder how much of this is rooted in his ultra-liberal parents misinterpreting an infant boy’s normal behavior of wanting to wear makeup or nail polish because his mother is wearing them as being evidence of “transgender” tendencies. Little boys do get over such behavior as they realize that it’s “girl stuff.” Reading more into it than is really there—especially to this extreme—is horribly abusive.
I totally agree.

Very likely.
Whatever a 3 year old does comes from their environment - they are not producing their own ideas, but learning from others. The mother seems to want a transgender child - her behaviour is very attention seeking.
When we were kids, my sister and I had a friend who was a boy of about 10, and he loved visiting us so he could raid the fancy dress box, and also play with make up. We all thought it was great fun. We didn't have adults trying to write us into a great script of protest against society.
