OMG! Chastity Bono is Becoming a Man


I just read that the daughter of Sonny and Cher, Chastity Bono, is having a sex change to become a man. I'm not shocked too easily but for some reason, I was rather surprised to have read this; I do, however, totally support her decision to embrace her authentic being. This could help shed more light and acceptance on the transgendered.

I remember when Chastity announced that she was a lesbian about 20 years ago. Cher, as open minded and gay friendly as she is, had some trouble accepting that her daughter is gay. I can only imagine how taken back she might have been to discover this latest news; hopefully not too troubled.

wowowowow! that's so surprising to me too! it will definitely be interesting to see cher's reaction, the public's reaction, and the general effect this will have on the acceptance of transgendered people.

I was shocked when I heard this yesterday. I thought I heard it wrong. What a huge decision to make!

More should be written about "transgenders" who don't "trans" I am too old and sick and my features are too girly, when I considered it I was in college, 30+ yrs ago and it was unaffordable. Many of us live this way; I was lickt enough to have a bi fall in love with me---we have been a couple for 30yrs. GO CHAZ
