When Chastity first revealed her mental illness to Cher, she shunned her. In an interview, Cher discussed her dismay and disapproval of Chastity's sexual preference and subsequent decision to alter her identity. She has now done a 180° change and supports ‘Chaz’ completely. IMHO, her actions are dictated by the guilt of her hypocrisy; she turned her back on her daughter while she profited for years by pandering to the gay community after the mainstream audience abandoned her. I'm guessing it must have pointed out to her since she's obviously too thick to figure it out on her own. In any case, she would have been a better mother had she not nurtured her daughter's mental illness.

Cher has 2,500 pairs of shoes. Sell some for the Poor.

“nurtured” it?

As I recall Chastity Bono has recounted that her mother hired a lesbian nanny who raped her, then Mom said it was a good learning experience

I guess Mom thought the kid would swing both ways, worst case, not turn herself into a massive bloated man to protect herself from sexual predators
