Wow. I'm barely 30 seconds into this video, and I am already offended. I felt that the most obvious first question would be how the transition has affected his family relationships or something like that. "Are you nuts changing genders?" is the most ridiculously idiotic thing that you could say to a man who has transitioned and knows himself well enough to make that decision.

Could you please take your ignorant bullshit somewhere else?

[PC5032]

Not really, I think its the first thing most straight people would ask. Are you effing nuts? And then after about 60 seconds we're thinking... "you're an idiot". You know why? So what if you don't like your gender. Deal with it. Its like an idiot that doesn't like his skin color (Michael Jackson), and goes down to Walmart and buys some white latex paint and starts painting themselves (or in his case, injections). We think, you know what, you're an idiot. Seriously.

He looked better as a woman.

[Beverly Glover]

I know a woman who used to be a man and she said that she feels far more calm than she did as a man due to the testosterone level, and she doesn't feel aggressive like she did as a man. Chaz went the opposite way and says that he has trouble listening to women chatter, just like a MAN! It's kind of making me believe that men mostly can't help being they way they are, it's because of that dang testosterone! I am so GLAD I am a female, have always been a female and will always be one.

Is the journalist fucking stupid

[3rdWorldRevolution]

disgusting fat blob

[Mary Kinnear]

To all the people that had something ignorant to say about him! Why don't you just be glad it not YOU? Instead of letting evil run your small minds!

Question number 11: So how long have you ( Chaz ) had this fixation to be Mickey Rooney

[yusofa herlambang]

Fat fuck faggot!

[robsmith000]

She looks like the child snatcher's abused daughter.
