Well at least Sonny can roll over in the privacy of his grave.

Cher's daughter Chastity Bono announces sex change

LOS ANGELES -- Chastity Bono is having a sex change to become a man. A spokesman for the daughter of Sonny and Cher says Bono "has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity" and began the sex-change process earlier this year.

Publicist Howard Bragman said Bono "is proud of his decision" and hopes "that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue."

The 40-year-old writer, activist and reality-TV star came out as gay 20 years ago.

Damn, I must stop reading this stuff in an open plan office. Now I have to explain.

Wonder what Cher thinks about that?

"Hey mom, I think I am going to become a dude."

What do you think?

*shrug* I don't give a rat's ass.

It's her life. It's her money. I don't know why anyone who isn't part of her family cares.

What would you do if you were her father, mother, sister, brother? Would you think the same?[devilsadvocate]

I might feel freaky about it for a while - but underneath it all, she'd still be my child/sibling. Yanno, if she'd been a lesbian all her life, I would have been used to that ... it's not like I wouldn't have had any warning. (Yes, I know that changing genders is not the same thing as being a lesbian).

When my kids were going thru puberty, I let them know that their sexual orientation wasn't something I'd fret over. I'd be the same way with a brother or sister.

If it were a parent, that is a whole 'nother bucket of weirdness... I'd try to get past it tho.

Being gay or lesbian is so accepted now days it really is not that big of a deal. Not for me anyway. Sex change and gender reassignment is a whole nother ball of wax.

It's her (his) life. Eh...

I actually just started on facebook a few months back. A few of my high school friends sent friends requests and I did the same. One of them had me stumped. It was someone named Shane with a last name I recognized. But...the only person I knew with that last name was a Heather. You know the rest of the story.

Wax? Surely there are better materials?

Yeah, it would be strange getting used to the idea. But I'm confident that I could work through it. It might take a while.

Seriously, she came out of the closet years ago, I guess for her this is the next step. I could care less.

My mother practically begged me to be a lesbian so she could prove how tolerant she would be.

Shawnee123 · 06-21-2009, 10:37 AM

hahahhahahaha @ clod!

I think my mom may have secretly wished it so: I'd made such wonderful choices in men it couldn't be any worse. Plus, as you said, she'd like the tolerant loving mom bit "My daughter is a lesbian and I love her as if she were straight." I mean that in the most loving way towards my mom, who is that awesome.

Alluvial · 06-21-2009, 12:42 PM

My son now says that he had a moment of "Wait ... does Mom want me to be gay ??" . Heh.

Sorry about that, son.
