Within minutes of ABC’s announcement that transgender turned male, Chaz Bono was added to the cast of “Dancing With The Stars”, the DWTS message board immediately exploded with outrage.
Bono, 42, the only child of 70s pop superstars Sonny & Cher, came out as a lesbian in 1995. In 2010 she decided to undergo gender reassignment surgery to become a man. But in an interview with Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network, which aired a documentary film entitled Becoming Chaz, Bono said she didn’t want male genitalia.
Still, Bono insists that she’s a man despite the lack of working body parts that distinguishes “him” from a female.
“At this point, I really don’t have any plans to do bottom surgery,” he/she said. “I feel really good, I feel like a man now, and I’m really happy,” he/she told Winfrey.
Just to clarify, Bono no longer considers herself to be a lesbian, she insists that she’s a man even though she doesn’t have manly parts.
Parents who don’t want their children exposed to Bono’s confusing sexuality have bombarded ABC with complaints because they don’t want to see her on the show.
