Chaz Bono's Only Regret

We know a lot more about Chaz Bono's decision to become a man, and there's one thing he wishes he did differently -- that he had done it sooner.

We broke the story on Thursday -- that Chaz was changing genders. Now we know a lot more.

-- His partner of several years is totally cool about the change, and both of them say it will not alter their relationship. By the way, the partner -- Jennifer -- is hot. She has dark hair, she's around a size 2, and on and on.

-- The process has been going on for a while now. Chaz is taking hormones. As for when he's having the breasts removed -- no date has been set. That operation typically is the marker when judges allow someone to legally change sexes.

-- Cher has known about this for a year.

-- Chaz underwent a tremendous amount of psychological counseling before beginning the physical process of transitioning.

-- Chaz has considered himself a man for as long as he remembers.

-- As for wardrobe, we're told Chaz doesn't think a lot will change because he's been wearing mens clothing for a long time.

16. Jon, who is "Chelsey" whom you've gone on about? How do you know the extent of momma's money and/or where it is spent? Doubtful you know any of this but then again you don't even know that it's Chas/Chaz whom you've chosen to talk about. Yes you too should move on, perhaps back to school.

I do wonder if Chaz has legally changed her/his name and I do agree that whatever sex she/he wants to become, let's hope he gets his waistline under control too.

17. First off this woman is grossly unattractive all ready. So now she wants to alter herself to become more ugly? That makes no sense. It's funny how nobody realizes that it is IMPOSSIBLE to change genders. No matter how many parts you have removed or added on you are still are medically what you were before, you will just be cosmitcally different.

21. Chaz may be in for a bit of a shock. The girls may like chunky lesbians. Chunky guys? Not so much.

22. It's Chaz's life. Let her/him do with it as she/he pleases. As for some of your comments on her/his looks, I wouldlike to see a picture of you. Chaz has a beautiful face and while she/he may have some extra weight, who doesn't. My guess is I too would have put on the pounds if I had to face what he/she has in life (gender confusion). She/he doesn't chase the spotlight and as such I think we should leave him alone.

23. It is a shame to see so many of these hateful comments.
I am not asking you to approve of Chaz, I am just asking you to work to understand before making a judgement.
If you do not understand fully the reasons many people opt to change sex, then reserving judgement is the prudent course of action.

I think it is important for people to understand that homophobia and transphobia are no different or any less shameful than racism and sexism. Your views are bigoted and outdated. It is OK to not understand or to ask questions. It is not OK to spread ignorance and hate.

On a positive note, I think TMZ has actually covered this story with more respect and open-mindedness than it does with most stories. Congratulations.

*FYI, I am a straight, non-transgendered woman. I came to respect, understand and approve of transexuality not through personal experience, but through education and learning. It is too bad people seem to bypass the education and learning stage before coming to a conclusion on such a very complex subject.

24. Ok, CHAZ was or is Chastity, not Chelsey. Whatever she does, she does, I personally don't agree with this part but my heart hurts for anyone who isn't happy with the body/gender they were born with. It has to suck to be in that position. Many people are born with syndromes, diseases, mutations, whatever, and most of them are treatable. I don't think this is an acceptable form of "treatment". I wish there was something else. Anyway, I digress...The thing that really bugs me is that the removal of breasts is what the court considers the transition from female to male. What in the world are they thinking?!!! What does this do for the millions of women who have to have their breasts removed because of cancer? You want to talk about affecting someone's image and soul? Take a woman's breasts away - its traumatic and should not be used as the green light for going from SHE to HE. Like someone said before, you were born a woman, you will always be a woman. Only God decides what you are. We have been destroying the Earth for millions of years - it's no wonder we have in essence created this havoc that's being wreaked on our bodies and our society. It is really sad.

26. Her momma must be proud. Wow - Chastity can call herself whatever she wants, but she is still a female.

27. Chaz should do what makes him happy and whole. Everyone else should do the same. Concentrate on your own lives people, and you will be a lot happier!

29. I watched her as a little girl on The Sonny & Cher Show & I always thought she was adorable. And I still think she is, if anyone has ever seen her or heard her speak, she just seems like the kindest person. I wish her much luck & happiness for the rest of her or I guess I should say his life....
