Chaz Bono Calls Gender Reassingment His "Best Decision"

November 19, 2009


Chaz Bono says he is finally "living the life I always wanted to live" now that he's undergoing a gender reassignment from female to male.

"It’s the best decision I've ever made, Chaz — formerly Chastity — said in an interview with Good Morning America. "I feel great."

Chaz, the daughter-turned-son of Cher, explained, "I've felt male as far back as I can remember." Even as a child, Chaz said: “I felt like a boy.”

As for being the poster child for the transgender community, Chaz says he doesn't mind. "I've struggled a lot getting here. If by being public other people can see this and not have to struggle as much as I did, then I'm really happy to do that."

I'm glad that Chaz is finally being who he has always wanted to be.

I wasn't surprised that he became a male. Back when he was six, Cher asked him who he wanted to be more like (when they were saying good night on their tv show) and Chaz said, "I want to be like Daddy". Well, now Chaz fullfilled his dream. Good luck to Chaz.

Do you think it is possible that being a daughter of Cher's with all her weirdness, guys, etc. could have messed up Chastity? I think she should have gone into residential rehab, extensively as God must be cringing about right now.

I just wonder what God thinks about what your doing? Obviously, you don't care. God does not make mistakes, Chastity.

If Cher can accept her childs' decision and love him/her unconditionally, Who are any of us to criticize?
