Chaz Bono discusses his gender-reassignment surgery exclusively with Mary Hart in a two-part interview set to air tonight and tomorrow on Entertainment Tonight.
Speaking at his home in Los Angeles, Chaz talked with Hart about the effects of taking male hormones, the extent to which he plans to undergo surgeries, and the impact of his decision on his family, including his famous mother, Cher.
"I always felt like the male from the time I was a child," Chaz told Entertainment Tonight. "There wasn't much feminine about me. I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early '90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it. I was turning 40 and I thought, it's now or never. I want to still feel vibrant and be able to enjoy my life in a male body and not wait until I am an old man."
Tune in to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday and Friday to catch the full interview with Chaz Bono, and read moreabout the interview here.
