I do believe that E2 is going to have a massive spiral like what happens to child stars when they hit eighteen and I'm seeing it so much with Jjo Siwa at the moment. I think that it is something that we are going to see with a lot of the children of family bloggers over the years. I've been watching videos about some of these kids who are trying to sue their parents over their content and for their right to privacy. I could see something happening with the SJ's in years to come, especially with E2.
As much as I dislike the bratty behaviour, I do feel a lot of pity for E2. I think that if Jonathan and Anna were being respectful parents, they would have let E2 come to their own decision in regard to their identity when they were older. E2 could have been male and had similar interests as his sisters and was an effeminate boy. If they were trans, they could have come to that decision on their own and in private. There is very much a lack of allowance for boys and girls to be tomboys or effeminate without them being classed as transgender these days. I had a very unisex childhood and I was a massive tom boy and my brother used to go around nursey with a pink handbag on and a feather boa, and he only used to wear the 'girls,' clothes in the dressing up box.
It must be confusing for E2 especially as they have a drag queen persona as their 'true personality,' since they've been able to be Edie, especially as they have been Edie for about half of their life now. Not to mention their whole life has been on camera and there is an audience. I know that the character of Edie is probably for the camera and played up, but there must be a lot of confusion for E2.
I don't know if E2 could be allowed to transition back, especially as there is a situation where their parents are their bosses and there is money involved. E2 is the cash cow for the family and they must be aware of it. I'm sure that Anna and Jonothan would not hesitate to tell E2 that they need to work to get nice things if they did not want to be on camera, like what they did in the documentary, even if it is small things like the Starbucks and Roblocks.
Without E2 and the trans storyline, I don't know if they would be getting as many views or attention as they do, I reckon they would have faded into obscurity like many other family vloggers around the time they started.
Also, e2 constantly touching their hair is bothering me more than usual. I don't know if it is an anxiety tick or there are extensions in there, it always looks so greasy.
