Cher Speaks Out About Daughter’s Sex Change
Cher is speaking out for the first time about her daughter Chastity Bono’s decision to become her son Chaz.
The 63-year-old pop diva tells People, “Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. 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.”
Last week, news of Chaz’s gender reassignment process broke.

I thought Chastity didn’t want any publicity over this decision to become a “man” What’s with all the interviews. Yeah, right…wink wink
It’s just horribly sad. The surgery won’t make her a man. What a horrible way to reject her mother and the feminine she must have represented while Chastity was growing. Well, she got back at Mom, didn’t she. I’ll bet it doesn’t improve things in the long run.
Poor Cher having to deal with this situation. She deserves better then what her daughter is putting her thought. No matter what Chasity does to herself she is still a female. But she will be a really gross one who mutilated her privates. I am not a hater, I just think this is the worst thing in the world one can do to themselves and to their family.
Good thing that Sonny does not have to see this.
Why doesn’t Cher ever talk about her OTHER child? Elijah Blue? Does she even remember him?
I’ve gotta hand it to Cher…to say she doesn’t understand but will be understanding is so generous of her. Of course she loves her daughter…how difficult it must be for her to accept this.
she chaz a **** now
@Rhonda:
its funny you mention that chaz needs a “shrink”. The truth is it takes years of intensde therapy before being considered for gender reassignm,ent surgery. For the first year Chaz can take hormones, and have her breasts remove then he will have to wait and undergo more therapy before the sexual organs are operated on. Just thought you’d like to to be better informed
I can understand gay, bi, and unsure. That’s how you are. Maybe you’re born that way, maybe it’s environment, no one knows. But it’s just how you are.
I cannot understand “I’m in the wrong body”. This to me is playing god and it’s wrong. Modern science needs to be curing deadly diseases, not cutting off parts and attaching them to others just because someone doesn’t like the gender they are.
This is totally ridiculous and appalling. And a waste of both money and medical care.
I feel bad for Cher, because I remember when Chasitity told her she was gay and she almost upchucked through her nose. Now comes a bigger punch in the gut and what else can she say. This is liberal Hollyweird and everything goes. You’ll know if this was your kid you’d scream after picking yourself off the floor ten minutes later. I would just say tell me that you’re dating farm animals, smoking crack or got knocked up. Just don’t tell me this because I can’t breath or go to work tomorrow.
I agree with Sarah and Lenny.
To each his own.
ITS DONT MATER WHAT YOU THINK OR YOU ITS ONLY MATERS WHAT MAKES CHAS HAPPY I AGREE WITH SAM TO EACH HIS OR HER OWN
