Chaz Bono has always been very public about his ongoing transition from female to male, and continued to be courageously upfront during an interview on "Good Morning America" this morning. Celebitchy reports:

Chaz was nervous on GMA at first but then he got into his stride and seemed to become more comfortable talking about it. You could really hear the changes in his voice, which was deeper and sounded kind of like an adolescent boy. This makes sense because Chaz said of his change that he was “literally going through puberty.” He's been having hormone treatments for about eight … Read More

Chastity Bono, the only child of entertainers Sonny and Cher, has begun taking steps to transition from female to male, a publicist revealed yesterday. He began living as a man in March, shortly after his 40th birthday, and is now known to his family and friends as Chaz.

Bono's publicist, Howard Bragman, said in a statement, "Chaz, after many years of  consideration, has made the courageous decision to honor his true identity. He is proud of his decision and grateful for the support and respect that has already been shown by his loved ones. It is Chaz's hope that … Read More

Note to lawmakers worldwide: If you hem and haw over the legality of sex change surgery, you may end up footing the bill.

Reuters reports that Lithuania has paid $63,140 (40,000 euros) for a partially transgendered man to have complete gender reassignment surgery abroad, per a court order. The man, born a woman in 1978, won a case against his home state in the European Court of Human Rights, for sitting on a bill to allow reassignment surgery that was presented in 2003. The court ordered the Lithuanian parliament to pay for the woman to have the procedure … Read More

It appears that a couple of men pulled a fast one on the Commonwealth of Virginia. The AP reports (via the Miami Herald) that 2 men were able to use a design flaw on the Virginia driver's license to pull off a gay marriage coup in Norfolk, Virginia. Essentially, Antonio Blount and Justin L McCain took advantage of a bit of camouflage behind the gender designation on the license and procured themselves a marriage certificate.

The story goes that McCain verbally identified himself as "Justine McCain" and has a figure that most women would kill for. It … Read More

If you're a woman in your mid-thirties, the dating scene is challenging enough. You're conscious of feeling older, wrinkles become a reality, and you feel like your stock value as a potential wife has started to head south faster than the housing market. So in the past year, I decided it was high time I met a fabulous man.

In my good moments, I feel quite fabulous myself. I feel like an attractive, successful and snarky strawberry-blond who cooks like a dream and has a joie de vivre unlike most. I was open to meeting all sorts of … Read More

We’re not 100% sure how this ties into love and relationships but it is pretty weird… soooo. OK, there are essentially 3 genders in Thailand: male, female, and Katoey (sometimes Katoy). The katoey are also known as ladyboys and range from transvestites to transsexuals. Because of this (and a general penchant for penis severing) Thai doctors are the world’s best when it comes to gender-reassignment and genital overhauls. Because of this expertise, the whole M2F transition is heavily scripted and requires heavy physical and mental scrutiny. But according to Reuters a number of people want to … Read More

Can't stop talking about the pregnant man from Oregon? You're not alone. After Thomas Beatie's original account was published in The Advocate, the story was picked up by People and Oprah. I'm not interested in what People has to say on this, but I have to admit I was more than a little intrigued to watch Oprah interview him on her show.

Thomas and Nancy Beatie moved to Oregon from Hawaii a couple years ago. They run a successful business, own a home and are expecting their first child, a girl, in July. And then there’s the rub: Thomas, not Nancy, will be the one delivering the baby.

Thomas' story ignited across the Web last week after Thomas published an essay on advocate.com. His impending maternity/paternity leave challenges our notions of gender roles and societal norms, and generally induces a bit of head shaking. Wait a minute – the transgender Thomas still has girl parts? Yep. He decided to … Read More

In the hormone-loaded, rejection-ridden world of reality dating shows, there are many variations on the old boy-meets-girl/girl-meets-boy scenario:

Dashing boy meets lots of girls -- "The Bachelor." Scorned girl meets lots of boys -- "I Love New York." Bisexual girl meets 10 boys and 10 girls -- "A Shot at Love With Tila Tequila."

And now, transgender girl meets eight boys who know, from the get-go, that their would-be lover was not always a lady -- "Transamerican Love Story."

Tango’s Take
Whew. Thank goodness that the guys on the show know that the lady is a post-op transgender. We can … Read More
