Please Explain This One

Please Explain This One

Chastity Bono has completed the transition to being male. In some ideal world, what Chastity/Chaz does in private would be completely irrelevant to anyone else.  But unfortunately, the continual yammering and hammering by the transgender crowd for governmental action means that nothing is really private anymore: the personal is the political.

This transition raises several interesting questions about "Chaz" Bono and her/his relationship with "partner" Jennifer Elia.

1. If Chastity is now a man, then he is having sex with a woman (Jennifer Elia).  Does that mean Chaz Bono has changed from being a lesbian to a heterosexual man?

2. If Jennifer Elia is now having sex with Chaz Bono, a man, does that mean that Jennifer Elia has changed from being a lesbian to a heterosexual (or at least a bisexual)?

3. Wait a minute: I thought that the claims that you could change your sexual orientation from gay to straight were just lies.  But here we have two lesbians changing their sexual orientation!  Or is Chaz not really a man?

4. A number of trouble makers like myself have long suspected that there is a connection, for at least some homosexuals, between childhood sexual abuse, and adult sexual confusion.  Even those championing homosexuality as an alternative lifestyle have sometimes made damaging admissions in this area.  If a woman preferring another woman is a natural, completely healthy and normal orientation, isn't there something just a bit weird about Jennifer Elia being a lesbian, now is "partner" to an ersatz man?  Isn't this exactly what you might expect if Elia's sexual orientation was the result of a traumatic or destructive relationship with a real man?

  1. "He" is a "man" on paper only, no actual surgery has taken place. Only hormones.

  2. The newspaper coverage has been a bit coy on this. I was under the impression that the legal change of status was tied to surgical changes.

  3. "Isn't this exactly what you might expect if Elia's sexual orientation was the result of a traumatic or destructive relationship with a real man?"

    Umm, no. "a traumatic or destructive relationship with a real man..." can have a lot of different consequences. I would not expect this result. I wouldn't rule it out, but I wouldn't "exactly... expect" it.

    Also, I think "traumatic or destructive relationship" is the wrong phrase. "traumatic or destructive sexual contact".

    One wouldn't say that a victim of gang rape had a "relationship" with the attackers, but such an experience could turn a woman against men.
