When Julie Tarney's only child Harry was two years old, he told
her, "Inside my head I'm a girl." It was 1992. The Internet was no
help, because there was no Internet. And bookstores had no
literature for a mom scrambling to raise such an unconventional
child. Terms such as transgender, gender nonconforming, and gender
creative were rare or nonexistent. There were, however, mainstream
experts who theorized that a "sissy" boy was the result of a
domineering mother. Julie didn't believe it. She didn't want to
care what her neighbors thought, but she did care. "Domineering
mother" meant bad mother. Lacking a positive role model of her own,
and fearful of the negative stereotype of an overbearing Jewish
mother, Julie embarked on an unexpected parenting path as Harry
grew up to be a confident and happily nonconformist adult. Harry
knew who he was all along. Despite some stumbles, Julie learned
that her job was simply to let her child be his authentic self.
