Chastity Bono & Jennifer Elia: Wellness Couple

Chastity Bono, who is in the process of transitioning from a female to a male, is spotted out and about Los Angeles with girlfriend Jennifer Elia on Monday (June 15).

On Tuesday (June 16), the 40-year-old daughter of Cher, who wants to become Chaz Bono, was also spotted entering a personalized wellness center.

GLAAD recently released a statement “both for him personally and for all who are committed to advancing discussions about fairness and equality for transgender people.”

@koj:

I still don’t understand why people should judge gender based on a biological sex of a person. Doesn’t there exist something called brain? The brain can ofcourse have a sex that does not match with the body’s sex- it’s a God’s creation though a little uncommon, and it must be respected. There is no harm in rectifying this anomaly to make life better. Not all men want to be dominant macho type and not all girls want to be submissive femme type, neither should something like this be ever expected.

yes, it’s possible for a DEPRESSED WOMAN to also opt to live in the opposite gender role. Chez may not be a man, but still it’s her decision to opt for sex change as he/she feels that will make him/her happier. So, why shouldn’t that be allowed? Why should he/she sacrifice so much for the sake of social ire? It’s not necessary that a person born in certain sex will be happy in that sex- maybe due to ttransgenderism or due to social factors. But whatever it is, is a valid decision, if taken with confidence. The world must accept that. Otherwise, it would be akin to discrimination between rich and poor or the fair and dark-skinned.

I think the main reason why Chaz is going for transition has less to do with wanting male organs or body etc. It’s mroe to do to project the self as a macho person rather than the feminine persona and that’s simpky because there is always a social demand to project oneself of either gender for every person. So, young boys act tough to show them as macho guys while girls deck up to show their femininity. Some go on fine and merrily with this fib nonsense but for some, it becomes more than a joke- it’s a serious slur on the person’s wishes. But society never listens to that. A feminine boy is ridiculed if he does not play sports while a girl is frowned at if she is rough tomboyish type (nowadays the femme man more than the boyish girl).
So, I guess, Chaz is going for this operation to project himself as the person he desires to be in his mind, the role he wants to play in the world, which happens to be male and not matching with the biological sex. There is nothing abnormal in it just because it’s uncommon. If society had allowed Chaz to adopt male role despite being in female body, such a need wouldn’t have arisen at all.

To those who say Chaz is going beyond God’s wishes, I wish to ask just one question- Do all guys enact their macho roles because they want to follow God’s desires? Or does it occur naturally?
Do girls want to be pure,soft,feminine due to God’s desire or it happens naturally to them?
If you feel the latter, then, what if the person does not experience these natural instincts as expected from him/her but naturally gets some opposite traits or desires?
How will he/she feel on being different from others? How will he/she lead a enjoyable life?
Also, if you say that this person is violating God’s will, do you all mean to say you are also subjected to such opposite sex desires, but you repress them due to God’s will? If you really don’t face these anomalies, then how do you claim to even understand the plight of the one who faces this?

@idiots: I feel sorry for her. How unhappy with yourself would you be to go through life hating and ignoring what you really are. God has made each of us unique and amazing. To throw part of that away because of confusion, ignorance, self loathing, or perversion is sad. You cannot change what you are by adding or subtracting a body part. Please look at the deeper issues If I said I was a “Persian architect” trapped in an americans body I would be locked up. I don’t hate her She is probably a nice person. Lets look at the truth and know she is a woman that had an operation. All the particulars I do not know. We are all looking for happiness, to fit in, to live our destiny. You must be whole and happy inside first the only place I have found that is in Christ Jesus.

u are an idiot @ 11/01/2009 at 7:19 pm

@idiots: well you are the idiot my dear. to have a sex change is a sin. so stop trying to judge and compare other health problems with ignorance of sex change. you are not a true Christian!

Chastity Bono looks grotesque. Cher must be mortified. All the so called “gender reassignment” in the world cannot change her DNA. She remains a female with XX sex chromosones. To be a male she would need to have XY sex chromosones, a feat which she will never accomplish. Why is she being referred to as “he” in the print media when she will always be female?
