Chastity Bono came out long ago as a lesbian and has, according to her publicist, long felt that her true identity was male.
Accordingly Chastity has decided to make the outer reflect the inner and undergoe the complex operation of a sex change.
According to the N. Y. Daily News:
Bono intends to make the transition from woman to man, 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."
Bragman declined to answer any further questions about the sex change.
Transitioning typically involves hormone therapy, and sometimes - although not always - includes surgery
One can only wish Chastity Bono the best and hope that this sex change helps her - soon to be him - find peace with her/his identity.
