Sonny and Cher’s daughter to become man
Posted: 04:03 PM ET
Chastity Bono, the daughter of the late Sonny Bono and Cher, is in the early stages of transitioning from female to male. Bono’s representative, Howard Bragman, told Showbiz Tonight:

“Yes, it’s true — Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity.

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.”

Bono is a well known author and gay rights advocate. We’ve reached out to Cher for a comment and when we hear back we will let you know what she has to say!

I can see the headlines now :Bono to become a man

 

[corianderstem]

Why the face?

 

[lazarus]

...but is she OKAY?!?!

 

[corianderstem]

Sounds like she'll be plenty okay after the change.

Hmmm, all this time I thought her name was Memphis Eve. And her switching genders really throws a wrench into my plans.

 

[Lancemc]

If he/she is still in the early stages is it correct to refer to he/she as a "he" at this point as the story does?

 

[lazarus]

It was her representative who referred to Chastity as "he". Just doing his P.R. job.

Why the face?

I cant speak for her but its a little weird to me.

Reading the words "Chastity" and "Bono" in one sentence is a bit strange.

It was her representative who referred to Chastity as "he". Just doing his P.R. job.

Hmm. Right you are. I think it's funny how transgender people tend to change their names to just some close permutation of their original name. Chastity to Chaz. Michael to Michelle. Jane to John. Alex to Alexis, etc. You're basically given a free pass to call yourself whatever you want, aren't you? Why not go wild.

Wacky guess says that "he" has been called Chaz for years.

 

[Lancemc]

I don't know many girls who go by Chaz.

 

[MrPryck2U]

I don't know many girls who go by Chaz.

Right, but we're not talking about your average everyday girl. We're talking about a girl who has wanted to be a man her whole life. Plus, Chaz can easily be a nickname for Chastity. How many girls do you know who are named Chastity?

 

[Lancemc]

She could have asked people to call her Frank?

No. I get ya.

 

[impy13]

How many girls do you know who are named Chastity?

Three.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Good for him

 

[lazarus]

Three.

I hope for your sake they don't live up to their name.

There's one in my family

 

[lazarus]

Roger Ebert's wife's name is Chaz.

I don't think she used to be a man, either.

 

[impy13]

she used to be a man

 

[Carek1230]

I caught this news today and it's weirded me out a little bit. I'm sure some idiot media twit will make mention of Bono in connection to this too. Any bets as to how long it takes for that to happen?

 

[Screwtape2]

Good for him.

 

[corianderstem]

Any bets as to how long it takes for that to happen?

I'm betting on never.

 

[lazarus]

Heh.

 

[impy13]

I'm betting on never.

I beg to differ. I think Boner will be mentioned plenty of times in reference to this saga.

 

[corianderstem]

But hasn't the "how do you say Bono, isn't it like Sonny Bono" joke died a million painful deaths?

The only people I hear making that lame-ass reference anymore are posters on this site.

That's probably because this site is home to the only "idiot twats" who even care about him any more.
