Chaz Bono, formerly Chastity, the daughter (soon to be son) of Cher, told ABC that he "felt male as far back as I can remember." Soon Chaz will make the full leap to manhood by undergoing gender reassignment from female to male. The 40-year-old told "Good Morning America," "This was a very difficult decision to make, but it was the best decision I've ever made."

Chaz is one of the lucky ones.

Some children are wracked with what's called a "gender-identity disorder" and are profoundly depressed and can even become suicidal if they are not allowed to express themselves as the opposite sex.
