Chaz Bono

I'm sure some of you have already heard or read about this, but I thought I'd share, just in case.  Chastity Bono (Sonny and Cher's child) has started the process of transitioning from female to male and now goes by Chaz Bono.  There are several articles available online, all say more or less the same thing.  All the articles I've seen have been pretty respectful of his decision and his privacy.  I don't usually follow celebrities very closely, but this is actually a pretty major development for awareness of trans issues in mainstream media.  Chaz is the first celebrity (that I'm aware of) to transition.

Here's one of the articles from People Magazine:
