The Reluctant Transgender Role Model, Chaz Bono (Sunday NY Times.com Front page)

Chaz Bono, Sonny and Cher’s daughter, now a man, is the subject of a documentary about his transition.

I got the feeling we're supposed to think that Cher had no influence over this mess.

I remember a couple years back when I first got HDTV. I was half watching some show and an interview with Cher popped up. She is approaching 70, but her face is immobile and taut, the work of much, much plastic surgery. The telltale sign was her hands...she clasped them in front of her face and they looked like they belonged to Helen Thomas!

No wonder her kid ended up like this...the parent can't deal with reality and so not save her own daughter from sinking into insanity.

Here’s one for ya! who was the first person baptized in the book of Acts?

America is a wonderful country! Tell me where else a cute little girl can grow up to be an ugly fat man. Nowhere, that’s where.

[PROTESTBYPROXY]

LOL!

Barney Frank says he has never had that problem, and in fact had plenty of penises.

[SouthTexas]

I wish I had a penis

So does John Boehner.

We have a winner!

I have a question. Since the treatment to ‘change’ a person's gander includes massive hormonal injections, treatment, with the opposite sex hormones to accomplish the ‘change’ - wouldn't one conclude that it was a hormonal imbalance in the first place that rendered the person to lean the other way? (The whole thing sounds like a giant scientific/medical experiment.)

Therefore, why not treat the person with hormone treatment of the SAME sex and get them back on track - along with counseling?

Oh, right, it’s now against the LAW to counsel anyone regarding this.

God help our country. One of the last societal movements in the collapse of a civilization is the widespread acceptance of homosexuality.

LOL

God help our country. One of the last societal movements in the collapse of a civilization is the widespread acceptance of homosexuality.

Oh we're there, for sure. I quit praying for our country when the Congress repealed DADT for the boy king. There is no one in the District of Corruption that I feel comfortable praying to lead this country out of its downfall. I will just ride it out and make sure my life is "right" and I am ready.

[Radagast the Fool]

To say this person is disturbed is an understatement. It seems to me that filling her body with all sorts of chemicals isn’t the solution. She will always be the same person, regardless of what she looks like.

I do wonder, once she completes this so-called “treatment”, and is still “unhappy”, will she insist that the entire mess was the fault of “someone else”, and then insist she be “changed back” to female?

She will never find “acceptance” in society, because she will never find “acceptance” within herself. And the sick b!@#$%^&s at the NY Times are preying on her severe illness, in order to push their own bizarre and sick agenda.

God help us all!

Give me a break.

He/she/it is a reluctant trans-whatever role model? Then why is he/she/it making sure to get all of this publicity about his/her/its morphing into something else????????

I can’t find the story at the links you provided.

[JimRed]

Chaz Bono, Sonny and Cher’s daughter, now a man...

It is not a man, it is a mutilated female.

[trisham]

Very sad. She desperately needs help.

[eartrumpet]

So that’s where George Wendt.

Fascinating article. Good for him. I hope he’s happier now — seems to be.

I knew a girl like this in middle school. Although no one talked about it, we all knew she was really a he. No matter what pretty lace or feminine pinks her mother provided her to wear, she was still all boy and always seemed so uncomfortable. I can’t help hoping that “Denise” is now Dennis and has found some comfort and happiness.

[ViLaLuz]

She is a woman, a mutilated, mentally ill woman. Not a man, not a “he.”

[AnAmericanAbroad]

All together now; NORM !!!
