Cher: My son Chaz is wonderful
Cher sees no difference in her transgendered son Chaz Bono following his sex change.
Chaz was born a woman and underwent surgeries between 2008 to 2010 change his gender. Cher was always supportive of Chazs transformation, but she admits that coming to terms with reality was challenging.
"As a mom, you have a child and then all of a sudden, you have a different child, but you have the same child. So it's very hard to kind of twist your mind around to the adjustment, Cher explained to Anderson Cooper on his eponymous talk show.
But then when you look at it, and you're around your child, you just think, 'Oh, no difference.' Same child, different wrapping."
Cher loves her son deeply. Chaz was eliminated from Dancing With the Stars this week. His mother was not happy about his treatment on the show.
"I just thought they were rude and it was gratuitous rudeness," Cher said about the programmes judges. "I was just p**sed off. I was really upset. Not that Chaz was voted off but that they were so disrespectful."
Cher does not want Chaz to be misjudged by the public. The star believes that her son is a great person and wants Chaz to be known for his good character.
"There are some people that are never going to be able to move out of their comfort zone, but I think that when people can see Chaz and see what a wonderful person he is, and kind and funny and all of that, then maybe they could just relax off of what their preconceptions are, she said.
