What a MAN: Chaz Bono on “Nightline”

It was a fascinating – and educational – interview that Chaz Bono gave to Cynthia McFadden on ABC’s Nightline last night in promotion of the documentary Becoming Chaz which premieres tonight on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN).

Chaz explains why someone would want to transition from one gender to another: “It’s actually pretty simple if you look at it. We all in the womb start out as female and then hormones come and we either stay female or we become male. I think of it as hormones that, you know, went in the brain but not in the body, and that’s all being transgender is. It’s just that the sex of your body and the gender of the brain don’t match up.”

My only concern for Chaz is the weight gain. I Wish Chaz nothing but happiness.
