What does Chaz Bono teach us about transgender folks?
Q: I've been reading all these stories about Chaz, previously Chastity, Bono's change of gender identity and I see that Wikipedia already says Cher has "a son ... who was born female." Even as a gay person, I'm a bit confused - especially about what's the right pronoun to use with a transgender friend? I have a colleague at work, Michael, who is now transitioning to Michelle, and we don't know what to call him (or is it her?)
