Chaz Bono cannot find love because he “repels” women.
Lovelorn Bono, 46, says he has been out on dates but just cannot connect with the opposite sex even though the transgender LGBT advocate was once a member of the opposite sex.
The reality star son of Cher has been struggling to find a permanent partner after splitting with Jennifer Elia in 2011.
“I seem to repel women that I am attracted to,” Bono told Confidenti@l at the Les Girls charity fund-raiser in Los Angeles.” He says, “I have been single for four years, which has been a great thing and (it’s) great to have time to myself.”
Starting in summer 2008, Bono, born Chastity Bono to the pop-star duo of Sonny and Cher, began a two-year gender reassignment treatment that made him the man he is today. But the 39-years Bono spent as a female didn’t give him insight into the mind of the single woman.

I read an article at the time of his/her split from her former long-term female partner. The two had been in a lesbian relationship when Chastity decided to undergo hormone treatments and surgery. “Chaz” was quoted in the article as saying that as the hormones built up, her personality and behaviors became more masculine, and her lesbian partner was turned off by that.
Duh.
They sent the boy, Elijah Blue Allman, to boarding school at age 7. According to Wikipedia, he started doing drugs at age 11, obtaining them from Harlem when visiting his mother Cher in New York. Years of heroin addiction followed. He is 40 years old. He had a band, but hasn't issued a recording for 9 years. He also had a near-fatal case of Lyme disease, not helped by a weakened immune system due to drugs. He did get married recently to an opera singer, but after the couple lived with Cher for awhile, they ended up not speaking. Cannot imagine how his father Greg Allman's recent death has affected him.
One good thing is that through his father he has four step-siblings from the American south, so there's a path to sanity—such as Scots-Irish-American rock'n'roll families define sanity, that is. Cher's ex and father of her son, Greg Allman, was married seven times total. His father, a WWII veteran, had been shot and killed by a hitchhiker when Greg was a baby, so Greg and his brother were raised by a self-sacrificing single mom whom Greg failed to appreciate until too late. His only brother, Duane, with whom he had a band and did many drugs, died age 24 in a motorcycle crash.
Then, of course, the media has been full of the stories of Elijah Blue's half-sister Chastity becoming his half-brother. That Cher's son is still alive after such a history of pathology is astounding. But "turned out okay"? Jury is still out. Hope he finds Jesus.
