understanding of her son's desire to wear easter >>> welcome back to the morning blend. 24 years ago julie tarney's 2-year-old son harry told her inside my head i am a girl. every child expert julie talked to said et cet it's just a phase willgrow out of it. and encouraged her to just wait. then she realized he was happiest when he dressed like a girl. >> she wanted to make her son happy and for him to be his julie is here to talk about her new memoir, called my son wears heels one mom's journey from clueless to kick ass. >> thank you s much for having me. >> what an important conversation. >> i'm sure you find now with writing a book and this topic being so almost main stream that it is much easier to approach, but in your time, in 1992, when your son said this to you, there was no internet, there were no terms of transgender or that meant for you in that moment when your son said that to you. >> um, it was very confusing for me. i had no idea what it meant. as you said there were very few resources, there were no books, there was no internet. there was no community. and i had a lot of questions.
