Not GLEEful About Chaz(tity) Bono's Gender Reassignment

It was not that long ago that I would regularly watch the Sonny and Cher TV show, featuring their cute little towheaded daughter, Chastity, the three of them posing like a holy family. It was hard to imagine little Chastity becoming "Chaz" after discovering her born lesbianism. But, wait a minute, if she was born a lesbian, why would she undergo semi gender-change surgery? (The semi surgery only included an upper half alteration - or breast reduction). Even the very progressive David Letterman was confused and confounded by his awkward sounding guest.
There are so many paradoxes surrounding the Chaz(tity) Bono story that it should leave younger, curious, and bicurious kids even more perplexed about what the good Lord has invented. Yes, the Episcopal Church has pronounced gayness as a gift from God,which brings to mind, " Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, ..."
Long before cute little Chastity became beefy Chaz, there was a well published story that when Chastity was eleven years old, Cher left her with a known lesbian friend to baby-sit. Years later, Chastity complained that she was raped by this friend, "Joan." According to the story, Cher told Chastity that encounter would be, "A good life experience for you."
The fairy tail story (pun intended) of Chastity ended as she turned five years old when mommy dearest dumped her dad, Sonny, who went on to lead a more regular life (compared to Cher), and served as a Republican Congressman for several years until his untimely death on a ski slope in 1998.
Still, I feel sort of sorry about Chaz(tity) even though she is officially not a he, because the lower operation is "way too risky," at this time - and Chastity was born a female. Chaz's morphed manhood sort of resembles the below picture, but he she - looks more feminine, for a sheman. Even still, I feel sort of sorry for Chaz(tity) and how confused heshe has become, even though heshe claims that "the testosterone treatments have made me randier, and harder to live with." Yeah, male doses of testosterone in your female body, just might do that.
It even becomes more complicated by the fact that Chaz's lovely significant other is a lesbian, or maybe bisexual, or whatever the soup of the day is. Whatever, California will probably soon introduce a course for Kindergartners which will explain the advantages and wholesomeness of this fairy tale story (pun intended): A beautiful young, very feminine girl is raped by an lesbian adult, so she decides to become a lesbian, only to later decide to become a man engaged to a woman who desires only other women.
I am not sure that, clinically, we must refer to semi transgenders (she did not go all the way) as the gender they prefer as opposed to the way God made them, but contrary to what Lady Gaga has been preaching, They were not "Born This Way." Not wanting to embarrass Chaz(tity) any more with any of his/her after pictures, I decided to post one of Chaz's longtime iconic idols - K.D. Lang.

If you think youre a Martian, youre mentally ill- no one surgically tries to turn you into a Martian(well, not that I know of), or a duck . or Lincoln, or any other thing your malfunctioning brain tells you you are.That is a very interesting point.
On an aside, I wish the author didn't feel the need to play the stupid pronoun games. She's a she, and cutting off her breasts and taking male hormones isn't going to change that. Reminds of the idiotic story last year(?) in the news about the pregnant "man". Uh, no, she was a woman who wanted to look like a man, but the very fact of her pregnancy eliminated any doubt as to her being a woman, i.e. not a man.

The author reveals deep ionsensitivity by his use of female pronouns. Good people, sensitive people use gender neutral pronouns like "zie" and "zer" , or "zes" that can be applied to male , female, ambiguous, androgynous, or unknown.
I am not making this up. There's a few folks on some of the LJ sites I frequent who make a point of using the "gender neutral" pronouns on reposted articles like this one, and you can just smell the self satisfied smugness of those users over the computer screen.

1. It *was* a long time ago.
If you are over 60 it does not seem that long ago. If you are 40 years old, the Sonny and Cher show was playing when you were a mere babe.

I used the stupid pronouns because it demonstrates the confusion of sex and gender reassingnments. Oh, lets be sensitive to abominations? Use zis and zie to further confuse people? In the article I mentioned that I feel sorry for such people, but lets no promote the insanity.

Wikipedia says 'The Sonny And Cher Show' ran from 1971-1974, then they divorced (I remember Cher was hanging around Greg Allman), and the show returned in 1976 for a short time and died again in 1977.
I maintain this was 'A Long Time Ago', especially since the movie that opened with 'A Long Time Ago, In A Galaxy Far, Far Away' opened in 1977 and that's considered 'A Long Time Ago' these days.
On that note, never mind Cher's age... Have you seen Carrie Fisher lately? At some point, we have to acknowledge that 1977 was a long time ago, or at least long enough for a 21 year old space princess to turn into a 55 year old Yenta.

Since I was born in 1976,it seems like it’s been a LONG time ago!

If a lanky 30-year old man, a.k.a. myself, feels happy about life, something is so seriously wrong with the whole picture. Somehow, true happiness is lost, and it’s dragging people way down.
