Cher’s daughter Chastity Bono sex change: changing gender from female to male

The daughter of Cher, Chastity Bono, 40, is reportedly having a sex change in order to transition from female to male.

Publicist Howard Bragman said:

“Chaz, after many years of consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity,” Bragman said.

“He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by loved ones.

“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.”

Transitioning typically involves hormone therapy, and sometimes - although not always - includes surgery.
