Boys that like one Happy Meal toy for girls is NOT a sexual thing. It is a marketing thing that means ONLY that McD offered a more creative or appealing toy for girls that month than it did for boys.
When girls prefer playing with construction kits and boys like to cook, these choices are NOT SEXUAL! It's simply an activity that they prefer over the other available options. One university study found that about 1/5 of all children express a preference to be or 'try out' the opposite sex at some point, but upon further examination, these were almost never sexual choices. The chioces were based on normal curiosity and interests. They are limited situations or relatively brief phases that are completely normal—discovering what something "is not" is part of learning what something "is." Well-adjusted parents recognize this for what it is, a phase of their child's self-discovery. They don't wildly over-react like this bonkers mom did.
Unless a child is abused into confusion or provoked into pleasing a pervert, almost all will arrive at adulthood identifying with their biological assignment.
