Camille's right. Chastity Bono wasn't miserable because she was "born in the wrong body", whatever that means. Ms.Bono said, "I always hated my body." It makes sense to me that a chubby girl growing up in the shadow of a beautiful mother who is world famous for her constant, very public, very purient near nudity would have body image issues. If your shoes are too tight, your not comfortable in your shoes. What does it mean to be uncomfortable in your own body? There's something deeper here.
Paglia was never obsessed with Sontag. She did, however, call Sontag out for claiming she didn't know who Paglia was for several years after her bestseller came out. She is not ill; she has very powerful opinions on hot-button issues, which by the way she backs up with factual evidence and historical precedent. She has balls and tells it like it is. She is absolutely worth paying attention to - unlike you. You apparently have an axe to grind, and you follow Paglia around to grind it.
I just found out who this woman is... she is the one who is totally obsessed with Susan sontag and is probably responsible for the weekly hate posts I get on my susan sontag video I created, that I have to delete. This lady is ill. I like how she think she knows about Chaz ... she talks like a child with an old lady voice. Eat susan's dust bitch.
Camille is spot on. Chastity Bono has been professionally gay her whole life. After her band failed, she came out and, using her mother's name, was quickly adopted by the gay Hollywood political establishment.
Now that lesbianism is so mainstream as to be boring, Chastity wakes up one day and finds out she's a man! With a book! And a tv show! Illiterate and uneducated, she's invited around to talk shows as if she's some serious thinker. Forgive Camille and me for our jaundiced eyes.
rabid grandma didn't eat breakfast. Anything to try to remain in the public eye eh Camille? On the basis of this I wouldn't read anything she wrote. And I almost did once! *whew* glad I didn't waste my time.
"...when I was young I was convinced I was the wrong sex...". I guess this is what can happen with a case of untreated gender dysphoria... it's called Reaction Formation, the defense mechanism that this lady (and much of the homophobic and transphobic population suffers from) ended up turning her gender issues.
Boomers should really learn to shut it now. Your. Time. Has. Passed. You're not relevant anymore, and NO you're no subversive anymore either. You're really fucking reactionary.
[@jcac1023: Do some research on Camille Paglia. She's legendary.] While this is disappointing, the clip is obviously old. I'd love to know if she has responded/retracted in the intervening years. I'd also like to hear her finish the sentence that the clip cuts in half at the end regarding her personal gender issues. I can't just quickly dismiss her, as her record has been so good for so long.
Stop the presses. I just read that this clip is over TWO YEARS old. My questions now would be: Does Camile feel the same way and why did they repost this video without telling us it was that old.
Oh my. Camile you are completely lost and have lost any credibility you may have had before this interview. You sound like someone from the 1950's. Congratulations you are now totally irrelevant.
Oh what complete bollocks lol. So because she had issues with her gender as a kid, Chaz should share her opinion now? That people still pay any attention to this dinosaur is a shame. What a joke.

@will77jeff Lesbianism is not "mainstream" - you're just upset that people have come to accept it.

"other issues" while growing up trans in the Bono household? You think? "Mutilate the body"? She sounds a wee bit transphobic to me.

So because Camille chose not to transition, no one else should?
And who is the 'everybody' she's referring to? The everybody in her head?
Gotta love her sheer hubris, the self aggrandizing way she positioning herself as the arbiter of what Bono should do with his life.
