It seems you can make a man out of a woman but you can't take the woman out of a man. Chaz Bono is a great example of this. She was born a girl and christened Chastity. Chaz says she knew from the time she was a child that she was a boy growing in a girl's body. She figured out who she was and thats great. Yet, I do call her a woman because she is still in transition and hasn't completed the journey to manhood; she is 'legally' male but physically and psychologically female. She wants to help children who have gender identity issues. Thats rather benevolent! There are so many out there who need it.

Guess who she has set her sights on?!! Young Miss Shiloh Jolie-Pitt...While she doesn't know the Jolie-Pitts and 'wouldn't assume anything about their daughter's choice to dress boyishly' she would "love to talk to them to atleast let them know we have this resource for them if they ever need it." Talk about a classic case of judging a book by its cover. If a man is effeminate in behaviour and mannerisms, maybe even voice, does that automatically make him feminine or gay? No it doesn't, but we would consider it because we're looking only at the cover. While lucky Chaz will certainly get a lot of publicity riding on the coattails of this famous couple, the poor child could just be a tomboy. Give her a break!

This piece of news also made me wonder about Chaz's fiancee-is she a lesbian, a heterosexual or a bisexual? Its puzzling. They got together while Chaz was still 'legally' a woman and now their relationship is changing 'legally' into a heterosexual one. Hmmm...
