Why honor this? It’s one thing to be “non-judgmental” about it; it’s another to promote it.
As always, freepers show their true colors. When it comes to women, when you don’t agree, attack their looks. SO childish, and becoming way too common on this website. Shame on you.
Did this producer seem gay to you?

If you're not socially conservative, you're a liberal.
I agree. We want pics of Megyn! Forget about Bono.
hehe :D
Megyn wins! Wait a minute. Has she danced yet?
Here’s why: Many of the children who might be watching will be establishing a sense of self which includes, of course, a sexual/gender identity. Some will be girls becoming comfortable with dramatic changes in their bodies. Some will be boys coming to terms with integrating the dawn of manhood with exquisite feelings of vulnerability. Young viewers will include tomboyish girls and sensitive, less stereotypically “masculine” boys. They will also include children who have sustained the losses of loved ones and are wrestling with depression, perhaps wondering who they are absent their deceased mothers or fathers.
The last thing vulnerable children and adolescents need, as they wrestle with the normal process of establishing their identities, is to watch a captive crowd in a studio audience applaud on cue for someone whose search for an identity culminated with the removal of her breasts, the injection of steroids and, perhaps one day soon, the fashioning of a make-shift phallus to replace her vagina.
It is a toxic and unnecessary byproduct of the tragic celebration of transgender surgery that millions of young people who do watch "Dancing with the Stars" will have to ponder this question: Maybe my problems really stem from the fact that I’m a girl inside a boy’s body (or a boy inside a girls body). Maybe I’m not a tomboy; I’m just a boy! Maybe I’m not just being bullied because I’m a sensitive, reflective young man interested in flowers, not football. Maybe I’m not just uncertain about my sexuality. Maybe I’m a girl! Maybe all this angst and suffering I’m feeling as I emerge into puberty and pass through it isn’t just because I’m changing, but because I should change completely—and have my breasts removed or my penis amputated! Thank you, Doctor
Maybe as a little girl you were molested by a family member. In an effort to keep it from happening again, you begin to believe you want to be a boy. You do everything you can to appear as boyish as possible. You even start telling people you want to change your sex. This is what happened to me. Thank G-d I snapped out of it before society decided it was ok.

I think it’s a mistake to think loving family members/friends who are gay, means accepting the lie that being sexually attracted to a member of the same sex is something that must be acted upon or be used as an identity.
The whole transgendered concept really doesn’t make sense to me. I just see confusion and disfigurement, not real relief.
Changing external body parts simply doesn’t change who you are as a person. If miserable as a woman, and nothing was done to change that....becoming a faux man won’t change anything. I suspect we’ll see her commit suicide in a few years.
It is interesting how these people trapped in the wrong bodies seek the outward appearance of the sex that they see reflected in the culture. It is a quest for that manifestation which is actually a very normal appearance for the gender they want to change to. In fact, their ideal is very stereotypical. They have entered a lifestyle that an actor or actress experiences when they play a part. The thrill of it is in the transformation; to be something they are not. It is something that children experience when they dress up for Halloween. However, when they do it, it is a serious mistake.
Like the children, they can never experience the reality of being that thing they dress up to be. The Halloween princess never knows what it is to live a real life of royalty. The transformed gender never knows what it is to be the real thing they transformed themselves to be. Life is not so kind; especially for those who are playing with biology. All they can do is seek what they think that gender is and, after they make the physical modifications, the most they will get is a phony copy. When they wake up to the truth of their failure, life becomes a grim sentence in a physical prison that will never again bring them the fulfillment they were biologically meant to enjoy.
I pity Chaz Bono. She was once a beautiful young lady who could have found fulfillment in the body she was born with. She could have just as well cut off her right hand.
I feel the same as you... sorrow for that little girl who could not see her own awesome special self.
I’m sorry, did God change his mind about homosexuality since it’s the 21st century? Or are you simple saying that God is outdated? I’m sorry that you’ve fallen for the liberal/commie attempts to destroy the family and our basic value system.
I feel so sorry for Chastity Bono. I've wondered what happened to her to make her want to change her gender. I'll always remember the cute little girl on stage in the arms of her dad.
Megyn has strong feelings about this issue.
However, I don’t think Chaz is a great poster child for any cause. Poor thing - anyway you look at it.
So do I!.....and I am strongly opposed to Megyn's strong feelings!
So, suddenly realizing Megyn isn't really a social conservative at heart.....I have the choice to not watch her anymore!
Older kids will know because it’s in the news and cultural media. But my little son won’t have a clue because chaz looks like a guy. And I won’t say a thing.
There are people who suffer from anorexia who believe that they are fat, no matter how much weight they lose. They can be at death’s door, looking like a walking skeleton but when they look in the mirror they see a fat person looking back at them. No matter what anyone says to them, they will still think of themselves as fat. I do not understand the deep and complicated causes for this terrible afflication but we do know that it is very real and sometimes even fatal.
I don’t understand all of the causes of gender confusion but is it too big a jump between those who see a fat person in the mirror when they are skeletal and those who look in the mirror and see a person of the opposite sex looking back at them? Aren’t both of these conditions delusions? Would we allow unscrupulous doctors to sell diet pills to anorexists because they think they are fat? How about unscrupulous doctors who feed the delusions of those who believe they are the opposite sex?
This whole subject of transgenderism has got me thinking about what the source of this may be. Think Kinsey Report — nineteen forties — Kristine Jorgensen, an early transgender in the nineteen fifties—the gblt movement— the seventies.
So when’s Jenny Craig doing a deal with Chaz? Come on, guys. I know it’s coming. You know it’s coming. We’re going to see those commercials sooner rather than later. Get used to it.
Watch the sing off instead .
