I think Adam actually IS a girl pretending to be a boy. I think they're calling him a transgender because she WANTS to be one, but hasn't gone through with the operation yet (I'm guessing because of family and stuff).

I agree with you about Try Honesty. They kept them both in character, it made sense, but it was still so sad when it happened (Landon Liboiron is just SO GOOD at crying scenes. I was teary just looking at the emotion on his face). And naturally, I can't stop listening to that song that played when they finally broke up. ^^;;
