I have two trans friends, one of whom has finished transitioning. He had a double masectomy, but didn't get a penis created, and has had to put up with people asking him when he's going to "finish his surgery". He doesn't need to "finish" anything to anyone's standards but his own. @Uncle Bob, I completely agree. I have two trans friends, one of whom has finished transitioning.

But, If you try to fit between in an attempt become comfortable with yourself your often deemed a freak. The result of this is a taking a chance with hormones (that can do major organ damage, esp to the heart) or dangerous surgery. My partner is a professional therapist, dealing with gender issues, he's found that a very large percentage of people who do gender reassignment surgery aren't happy with the results as they really aren't specifically one gender or another in their minds. It's unfortunate that we live in such a puritanical society that doesn't allow people the social freedom to live as they choose. Many transsexuals find they are happiest living as another gender, but having their original body parts. What's wrong with allowing a man to feel feminine or a woman to feel masculine? Who does it harm? The real issue here is that society expectes everyone to fit into some male/female slot – It’s a choice of A or B.

Let Chaz be who he really is and be happy for him and his family. Who here would accept someone else s definition of their life? Always define yourself!! He has courage and I wish him the best. You can't control the length of your life, but you can control its use. You can't control the weather, but you can control the moral atmosphere that surrounds you. SO let him :) Those of you judging and hating: love what is don't hate what's not. There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up. It's never too late to have a life and never too late to change one. He has chosen to change his. Those of us who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticize. Those of you who continue to hate, remember Karma escapes no one and does not discriminate. There’s nothing that so often seems to go with a narrow mind as a wide mouth, huh?

That is a surgically altered woman with gender and body issues, who couldn't bear to live with herself as a lesbian let alone as the daughter of Cher Bono. This will not help Chastity Bono, only the ability to accept herself will.

Most of us are lucky enough to have our sex and gender match up. Trans people do not. Please respect the person, and don't just see them as a set of genitalia. @Kate, gender dysmorphia is a real disorder where a person’s sex (what parts they have) doesn’t match their gender (the person inside).

The decision to have the surgery and behave as male is certainly her own, but she will remain a surgically-altered, hormone-enhanced woman. What business is it of ours? Good question. You should ask her, and her publicist, and her publisher - all those people who choose to make it our business. Agree with Kate.

Do you know him personally? Do you have any idea what he's been through, or how he feels? No. You don't. So it's not your place to judge him or deny him his identity.
