"Dancing With the Stars" aims for provocative casts, and Chaz Bono's addition to the show has already yielded strong reaction -- some of it ugly.
Bono, the only child of Sonny Bono and Cher, was born a woman but legally changed his gender and name last year. The announcement Monday that he would join the highly rated ABC dance competition immediately made him one of the highest-profile transgendered people in the world.
It also brought to the surface prejudices about Bono and others who have changed their gender, judging from the "Dancing With the Stars" message board. In hundreds of comments, Bono was the most common subject.
But for everyone who vented disgust -- or questioned whether Bono would dance with a man or a woman -- there were many who defended Bono and accused his critics of bigotry.
Bono's casting is only the latest to make a lighthearted reality show the impetus for deeper discussions about values, tolerance, bigotry and politics. Gay "American Idol" contestants have opted not to announce their sexuality, perhaps out of concern about alienating intolerant viewers. And Bristol Palin's "Dancing" casting two seasons ago led many to vote for or against her based on her mother's politics.

Bread and circuses.
Not worth complaining about when simply not watching would be far more effective.
should be “DWTFAAW”
(Dancing with the Freaks and Attention Whores)
LOL! Good one.
That’s odd. No one wants to see a bull-dyke freakazoid slamming around a TV stage?
Why not this Chaz?

Born a woman
Still a woman.
The outer shell may have changed, but she is a woman and will remain so all her life.
She was not attractive as a female and is even less so now that she pretends to be a man.
I don’t watch the show, but I think that those who do just want a fun show without all the political underpinnings. It’s a shame that in this time, there isn’t anything without an agenda.
That THING creeps me out.
If you still watch this trashy show, stop it. Ratings, and sponsors, rule.
“Stars” being the operative word.
How is “Chaz” a “star”?
Freak show, at best (worst).
Gee I saw your Post and thought DWTFAW, and immediately thought it meant “Dancing With the Fat Assed Altered Female.”
It will have to be a Waltz, No way that fat POS could have the wind to do anything faster.
Maybe she could get Laura Ingraham to dance with her. They could Bill theem as Jack Spratt and his partner.
I never watch this show but I am getting tired of the meda hyping her/he/it......
I’m proud to say that I have survived without ever seeing an episode of dancing with the stars or American Idol.
What is really sad is that this pathetic thing is only making itself a laughing stock.
She is one sick puppy and only people looking for a freak show will watch it .
Why not - it’s always been a freak show.
