Cher is thankful she gave her daughter/son a versatile name. Nah, but she gave her support to her daughter Chastity’s decision to transition from female to male as Chaz Bono.
“Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support,” Cher said in a statement. “I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny, and although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding. The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child.”
Bono began undergoing a sex change after s/he (I’m having some pronoun gender confusion here, but it’ll pass) hit 40 on March 4 and news broke last week.
“Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity,” the Bono spokesperson said.
“He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones,” the rep continued. “It is Chaz’s hope that his choice to transition will open the hearts and minds of the public regarding this issue, just as his ‘coming out’ did nearly 20 years ago.”
