I was thinking tonight about all the people who are criticizing Chaz Bono, and saying things like this: "Each cell of a person's body contains chromosomes which identify that individual as either male or female. XX chromosomes mean you are female, and you can't change that."
Hmm. Maybe so, maybe not. But it seems everyone is assuming Chaz has XX chromosomes. How do they know for sure? Maybe there are abnormalities? Or maybe Chaz has had XY chromosomes all along? Quite honestly, though, is it any of their business? Chaz did what was best for him, in his mind, and that's all that counts.
