Me watching Dancing With the Stars: Oh, is that Chaz? The transgender?! *turns to mom* Mom, I want to be change my gender!

Really? Do you guys think that this would happen? Honestly, we have more issues to worry about then a transgender in a dance competition. . . .

Quite honestly, who cares? It's his life. He's not harming anyone, so why is it a big deal on how he has decided to live his life? You don't like it or agree with it? That's your opinion and your entitled to it but until you've walked in his shoes, don't judge.

@AlgizXIII The thing I don't get is why everyone honestly just can't accept people! They may not agree with what they do or who they are but people should still show a little compassion and understanding! It may just be the way the human race is wired but whats it to you if someone is gay, changed gender etc. It's not your life so, pardon the cliche, keep calm and carry on!

@ItsZackk Man when I read your comment I really felt hope. I think acceptance is what you're showing and I think the word needs a lot more of this. You don't need to be ok with it, you dont need to find it perfectly normal! As long as you can ACCEPT that they are still human and you treat them with respect, that's all it takes. Really, thanks for this comment. I wish more people could think like you :)

@thebuckrogers22 because she didnt want to take away from chaz's moment on the show, and didnt want it to be all about her, and chaz has said that before in hes documentary show

Cher's a fucking LEGEND...

[Superstrangebird]

@differentandalike not that it really matters, but Cher is only a tad Cherokee, mostly Armenian.

[thenevereverboy]

Chaz is awesome, Cher is a fucking legend and Ellen should be president.

Yeah know, I still find transgender people weird. I'm not trying to be rude but it's tue. I think that the only way to truly understand it is to actually have those feelings and go through what these people do. Even though I think they're weird, I applaud them and support them 100%

Chaz was trying not to cry.

Cher's father was in prison. Her husband - Sonny died in a ski accident after being a Congressman. Her daughter is now a man. Cher is biracial - Cherokee Indian. I find Cher an inspiration for dealing with diversity.
