I sort of feel sad for Chaz because, as always happens, I'm seeing a lot of Internet slapback at him, his attitudes, his weight, how he experiences himself as man, his queer cred, yadda, yadda. The guy's transition is fairly recent. He didn't ask to have it all be public... he really didn't have a choice. No, maybe he isn't saying everything and explaining everything the way we want him to, but he's trying to tell his story to people like Letterman, who are genuinely dense (no, I don't think Dave's putting that on). Moreover, his story is being edited and filtered through people who aren't trans and want to oversimplify much of what he's saying for marketing purposes. I really wish him well and maybe he'll work through the 'sometimes an a-hole' stage.
