Chastity Bono, civil rights advocate, journalist, author and musician, is in the early stages of changing his gender -- transitioning from female to male, TMZ has learned.
Bono, the child of legendary entertainers Sonny and Cher, began the process earlier this year, shortly after his 40th birthday.

She kind of looks like a tubby Cher.
“...is in the early stages of changing his gender”
For a gal, what are the stages?
More sewage more suited to perez Hilton’s site.
Well, s/he won’t have to change the tattoos.
I remember vividly - it is seared into my memory - the horror when Yoko Ono was trying to steal Cher’s former partner Sonny - and being unable to comprehend the marriage, and her eventual new name: Yoko Ono Bono. Oh, the horror!
How does that expression go?
“Fell out of the ugly tree and smacked every branch on the way down.”
Or something like that.
I work with a girl that looks like the picture on the left. I’m sure she is taking male hormones, because she becomes more and more manly all the time. I had to work out a way to interact with her that is very neutral.
GET OUT!
Cher took the news harder and colder than Sonny did when Chastity “came out”.
I guess maybe all this time she didn’t like the name Chastity. She’s abandoning it now (for Chaz?).

Is she getting fashion tips from Kim Jong Ill these days?
Looks like a candidate for David Letterman’s next wife...
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet.”
Who knew that back in the days of the Sonny and Cher show that sweet little daughter of their’s would one day grow up to be a man? Oy!
It’s immoral to let someone in pain like this mutilate themselves and spin further into confusion.
This will solve nothing.
I got the runs and thought I was peeing out of my butt.
Ran and told Mom, "I think I'm changing into a girl. I'm peeing out of my butt!"
You never heard such laughter.
Notice how the writer immediately starts using “his” and “him.” This is wrong. Anyone who chops and slices, or grafts and molds, should be called “it” and “its.”
