    ''At the time, I thought that I was a lesbian. I confused my sexual orientation and my gender identity, if that makes sense.... Sexuality is who you're attracted to -- it's about other people. Your gender identity -- I like to think of it as having really two components. There's, obviously, there's your physical body, your sex. But there's also how you feel inside, the gender of your brain. And for transgender people, those two things just don't match up....''

Chaz Bono, 42, the famous child of Sonny Bono and Cher, visited the The Late Show to discuss his experience about being a transgender man. Host David Letterman seemed lost for (perhaps comedic effect) proper terminology at times, and had a difficult time distinguishing between "homosexuality" and gender. He even asked if a DNA test would show if Chaz was a male. (CBS / The Late Show)
