Add a CommentI think of an individual as a person more than a plumbing fixture. What matters is integrity and honesty. And surprisingly, Chaz comes out smelling like a rose. I admire him. Now Cher, on the other hand, looks like the people pleasing, yet talented, freak that she is underneath her multiple plastic surgeries. She's 100 times scarier than her newborn son.
A very brave documentary from Chastity Bono as she documents her transition from female to male and Becoming Chaz. We have all seen M2F trans on Oprah or Springer, but the F2M isn't as visible, so this is a good chance to see what actually happens and how it affects others. Bravo to Chaz for also not editing his own portrayal which is him pretty much coming across as an a-hole. And I don't think it was just the testosterone injections either. I don't think he is a likeable person in the end, but this movie should be seen.
