jenner's older children recalling a time in the '80s when their father seemed to vanish. >> us missing, you know a time of our lives is still probably the hardest thing for us to deal with and we're trying to not to look back but look forward. >> reporter: jenner admitting the depression and isolation of that gender identity crisis led to the former olympian being absent too often. >> you weren't there a lot. >> yes. the big formative years for them i was really struggling with these issues. i talked to all the boys about this after the fact that you know yeah i didn't do a good job and i apologized to my kids for that. >> reporter: those children now with a message for jenner all is forgiven as their father embarks on transitioning to life as a transgender woman. >> in seeing him come out to me and explain his true self and i was more proud right then to carry the last name jenner and be a part of the family than at any time before. >> the one thing i think we have
8:12 am
gained that means more to us than anything is the honesty. >> i personally hope that this journey leads to the place that he wants it to. >> reporter: and now jenner's first wife chrystie scott, talking to george stephanopoulos this morning after watching the interview friday. >> what could you see in his reaction to watching his life unfold there in the interview? >> pain pain you know he -- he was tearful at times and, you know broke my heart. you know i reached over and tried to give him a little bit -- i'm getting emotional now. i tried to give him a little comfort comfort. it broke my heart for him. it was sad. >> what do you want families to know. there will be thousands of families talking about this. what do you want them to know about this experience? >> i'm sure there are plenty of people that don't have the courage to come out at all ever and they live private, dark tortured lives and that's tragic. that's just tragic and the fact
8:13 am
that he did share it with me that first year i felt like it was -- it was actually a gift that he gave to me that he trusted me with something so intimate. i felt like i was in charge of something that i had to hold private and dear and quiet and it involves a tremendous amount of trust on both parts. >> reporter: for "good morning america," chris connelly, abc news, new york. >> trust, understanding as bruce said open hearts and minds. so much to talk about coming out of this so we want to talk to two guests. jennifer boylan professor and author national co-chair of glaad and johanna olson. jennifer so many different kinds of questions. for a lot this was the first time they began to understand there is a difference between gender identity and sexual orientation. >> exactly, right and it can be
8:14 am
a hard thing to understand but there is a difference. your identity is who you are. your sexual orientation is who you love. it's not who you want to go to bed with it's who you want to go to bed as. >> do they influence each other? >> not really in a sense. i mean george if you were suddenly georgina. >> i prefer georgia. >> we'll stay with george now. you would still love whoever you love and still have the heart you have. that's generally the case. good to understand all transgender experiences are different. it's a wide range of stories but generally who you are is -- it's different from who you love. >> bruce said he had the soul of a woman and dr. olson we heard from jenner saying this is the last interview he will do as bruce, walk us through what his transition will look like. >> well i can't speak about this particular transition and
8:15 am
certainly all transgender journeys are different and no two look alike but i gem think it's easiest to think about this process in three phases and they definitely aren't in any particular order but the first the social changes people make with maybe their clothe, their hair their makeup and their name and their pronoun, she, her, he/him they them for the world to see their gender and what that looks like to those around them and then another phase of transitioning involves the use of hormones and in this case the use of feminizing hormones to bring about the characteristics that will bring the body closer to the gender of identity. and this really involves two things. you have to shut down the production of the hormone your body is making and this happens in the brain and in the bloodstream and then bring about the feminizing characteristics such as skin changes, changes in your hair breast development
8:16 am
and changes in the structure of your face and overall body fat distribution. >> thank you, doctor. that is the physical component to all this. jennifer as you know, such an emotional component as well. we don't have the time to show the clip from netflix that talks about the struggle of telling your family and how that is so incredibly challenging. >> but it's hard. the thing you keep hearing bruce say is i don't want to hurt anyone. i think that's true. but there does come a time when you have to be yourself. oscar wilde said be yourself. everyone else is already taken. >> as he said he just couldn't do it anymore. he said he couldn't pull the curtain any longer. >> it's a very heavy burden to carry but eventually if you come out and live your truth, people tend to respect you and -- it's very -- look it's very hard for people in your family. my own experience was that my wife and my children came
8:17 am
around. this year i will have been married 27 year 12 as husband and wife 15 as wife and wife. >> wow. that's incredible. >> it's larkable but in some ways maybe it's less remarkable than you think. >> why do you say that. >> well, because we -- you take your vows for better or worse, right? you're going to love someone and this is a big change. absolutely. but, you know people change over the course of a long life. if you still have the same relationship at age 60 that you had when you were 20 your marriage is probably in trouble anyway. >> it's a very good point. >> i love what you were saying using george as an example. your heart is your heart and you love who you love. we have a lot of viewers with questions and this is for both of you. please chime in, dr. olson as well. kimberly on facebook says how do you explain this to children who undoubtedly are thinking about this or may have seen something over the course of this week. this is everybody is talking about it and it is really
8:18 am
important to talk about. >> a great question. doc, do you want to take that one. >> sure i mean i think in talking to any kid whether that -- whether it's you trying to tell your own child that you're undergoing this physical transition or you're just trying to talk to your children about what they're seeing it's really quite simple. there are people who are identified as a certain sex at birth who actually don't have that gender of identity so in other words, there are people who are identified as boys that are girls and there are people who are identified as girls who are boys. and really starting that conversation early with all children would make us a better society. there would be a lot more tolerance and acceptance and celebration of the transexperience. >> we started that at our dinner table last night. no question about it. >> my mother said that after watching and saying how educational it was -- snrs finally, people have woken up and realized that they know someone who is transgender. >> yep. >> thank you both. really helpful.

8:32 am
>> for nine seasons john quinones and "what would you do?" hidden cameras captured the visceral reactions of people caught in over 500 shocking scenarios. arcs recreating situations pulled straight from the headlines like parents sandwich boarding their children as punishment. >> this is like public humiliation. >> exactly. >> maybe he'll learn. >> and this interracial couple who created a hairy situation at a harlem barber shop. >> you were the white girl? >> she's ignorant. >> keep your opinions to yourself because you sound stupid. >> while some saytay mum, others speak up. and even called the cops. >> i just witnessed two gentlemen drugging a woman's drink. >> that's john's cue to step in. >> i'm john quinones with "what would you do?." >> oh you got to be kidding me. >> now it's back celebrating its tenth season and a new book inspiring others to do the right thing. >> are you okay? >> and look who we have here. we are joined by the undercover
8:33 am
experiment here our good friend john quinones. >> good morning, amy. >> congratulations on the book. >> thank you. >> i know you credit your mother. momma q. [ speaking a foreign language ] >> she was my biggest inspiration. we were very poor and grew up in the barrios in san antonio and spoke no english when i was 6 years old. we were filing grant farm workers. she said doesn't matter you have to take bean and torety joe tacos for lunch when everyone is taking fancy baloney but what matters is what's here in your heart. >> she taught you what's different are your assets. >> yeah i mean we spoke spanish and she was the one who said to me use it to your advantage, the fact that you can speak two languages. you're so blessed. i wound up getting a job at abc news because i spoke spanish to cover central america back in the '80s with peter jennings precisely because i speak spanish. the kid who used to get punish
8:34 am
for speaking it in school winds up getting a network job, his dream job because of that. >> what a fantastic example. your book reminds us every day is full of what would you do moment. >> absolutely. >> i know that had to be one of the reasons why you wanted to write the book. what do you hope people take away from reading this? >> that there is an inherent good in all of us. that when you hear that little voice in the back of your brain you're witnessing an injustice, discrimination bias whatever it is, bullying of children and that little voice in the back of your head says do something. speak up and we see it in every single one of our scenarios. i'm getting asked all the time do you think people are inherently good or 209 because you see so many who step away. the fact is there's always a hero and they're so inspiring and it restores your faith in humanity. >> do you have a favorite "what would you do?" moment? >> i think one of my favorites when we -- we had a mother punishing her child for stealing or lying by wearing a sandwich board saying i have to wear
8:35 am
this because i stole or because i lied and the reactions were so different from different mothers. a white mother said you're going to damage that child psychologically by doing this. he's going to be in therapy for years. the african-american mother said no this is a good idea. have you ever had a son who was in trouble? do you -- have you ever had a son in prison? better get them now and punish them this way than later. we had two women yelling at each other on the sidewalk. >> but it starts a conversation and people really do think about what the right hinge is to do. >> that is's exactly what it's all about and we're back soon. >> i'm going to say that too. fantastic. we can't get enough of it. it's fantastic. john thanks for joining us. >> enjoy being here. "what would you do?" is on sale now and as you just heard say, the hit show returns this summer right here on abc. now, let's head over to rob with a check on the weather. i know what you're going to do. >> check out this crowd. they are good

8:40 am
people that i admire i was working with again, andy circus' company that was doing all the performance capture stuff and the people from ilm and joss weeden, the director and writer and they're the best at what they do and being somebody who was completely ill-prepared for that process of making that film it was a tremendous group of people to have standing behind you and propping you up. >> and getting the chance to play the bad guy with you you're very good at. >> well i had a lot of fun doing it. >> and you all will have a great time watching it. james spader, i could talk to you for hours. i'm a giant fan of your work. >> thank you. >> thank you for copping in. congratulations on the film. >> thank you very much. >> in advance because something tells me -- >> we're doing all right already. >> it's all right. you guys will all find out.
