Maybe what he had was some sort of pre-pubescent Oedipus complex but about his sister rather than his mom. And he got over that too.
I honestly don't even think it was that deep or sinister. More likely it was just an obnoxious younger sibling trying to copy/skinwalk the older one to their eternal annoyance. Little kids do this shit all the time. Maybe he would've grown up to be a fruity theater kid (gay or straight), maybe not and it'd just be an embarrassing phase that occasionally gets brought up at family gatherings, who knows. I don't think it was weird until the adults in the situation made it weird by doing shit like giving Jazz a complex about his junk and letting him take Ari's old bras (along with exposing the kids to whatever gave him a fixation on drawing vaginas and touching himself in class until everyone got uncomfortable). It's horrific how Jazz was clearly groomed but the sick family dynamic and lack of boundaries/privacy couldn't have been great for the other kids either. However, none of that makes Sander any less viscerally embarrassing.
