Sonny and Cher's child transitioning from female to male Chastity is *Chaz*
CNN ^ | June 11th, 2009

CNN) -- Chastity Bono, gay-rights activist and child of performer Cher and the late entertainer and politician Sonny Bono, is in the early stages of transitioning from a female to a male and will be known as Chaz, his spokesman said Thursday.

Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity," Howard Bragman said in a written statement.

"He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his 'coming out' did nearly 20 years ago."

Someone's decision to transition does not necessarily mean they are undergoing gender reassignment surgery, and in many cases they do not, said Mara Keisling, executive director of the Washington-based National Center for Transgender Equality.

Wow... remember Cher, back when she was funny and talented, before the plastic surgeries and the tattoos and the obnoxious politics?

A lot of lesbians are heavy. I don't know why.

Those are just the ones that you are aware of. There are plenty of gay women that you'd never even notice. But then, if it doesn't look like a freak show, why would the leftist media be interested?

My point is that many people just want to live their lives and thus don't show up on the radar. Again, why would the media be interested in a gay person that just acted like a person? Where is the titillation?

“A lot of lesbians are heavy. I don’t know why.”

They eat a lot of pie.

I tend to think her over-glamourized, huge celebrity mother left her feeling “less” and as she had weight issues, so unattractive to men that she gave up and went the other way. In my opinion she is a “psychological” gay rather than chemical. I think Cher harped on her apperarance when she was young.

I think 80% of lesbians are psychological rather than biochemical gays—either from sexual abuse by a male as a child ( they “defeminize” themselves as a way to nuetralize any male advances) or if they are plain homely and experience repeated rejection by males, they turn to other flawed females for companionship.

I’ve known several long term lesbian couples—they are more companions than lovers.

I feel sorry for her, too. I saw an interview with Chastity Bono a few years ago and she seemed like a genuinely nice person.

I have to disagree on the last term. The official term is “chopadickoffame.”

Th practice of perversion is linked to abuse.

Cher is the abuser.

Poor misguided soul, we should pray for her. Heaven knows no one on this earth will help her.

Yeah I do think he’s grown up in recent years.
I was just reminded, in the recent Letterman/Palin flap
on, of all places ,the NOW website (!), that way back in Clinton’s first term, maybe first year, Limbaugh held up a picture of Chelsea and referred to her as “the White House dog”. Now that is cheap! NOW put Letterman into their Media Hall of Shame, and made reference to the Limbaugh remark at the end of their piece.

I am a conservative but I think maybe God makes a few mistakes when programming a few people. Based on “her” looks - maybe God made a mistake here. I feel sorry for “her” having Cher as a mother and losing Sonny as a father.

No, she is the biological daughter of Sonny and Cher.
