The only child of Sonny and Cher, Chaz Bono, has revealed his plans to undergo a full sex change. Born a female and given the name Chastity by his famous parents, Chaz is already receiving testosterone injections had had his breasts surgically removed after his 40th birthday. Now he's saving up for the final surgery to complete his transformation and get a penis.
A new Rolling Stone profile says:
'[Bono] is pretty sure that within a short while, he will finally be able to afford to get himself a penis."
Chaz is usually pretty quiet about things when asked if he plans to get a penis, but he finally admitted to Rolling Stone that he is saving up for the surgery and talked about the options that are available to him, saying:
'I could get a phalloplasty, which builds the phallus from a donor site on your body, but I'm currently leaning more towards a metoidioplasty. It's a process that uses what you already have down there, which has grown larger from the testosterone. You end up with a smaller phallus than with the phalloplasty, but it's fully functional - it gets erect, and the sensation is all there."
Chaz admits that his former fiance Jennifer Elia is against him getting the surgery, but says that she understood his need to.
