Seventh Day Adventist by any chance?
His mother was indeed big on a quasi-Christian cult, and she did try to keep her and her son isolated even though they lived in suburbia, but he regularly hung out with the other boys in the neighborhood. In a cruel irony, her religion, while kooky, is based enough to have her as a stalwart anti-trans, which has caused her no end of grief over her son lopping off his member.
The poor guy was never violent to my knowledge, but he also wasn't a limp-wristed fairy. Had some masculine interests, even.
As far as I know, the kid's mother never put him in a dress or anything like that to make him doubt his sex. So I'm theorizing that it was just the soy. Poor mom is against parents giving hormone therapy to trans their kids yet she was unknowingly doing it herself for decades...when she realizes that it's gonna hit her like a truck.
