Oprah Winfrey Network to air 'Becoming Chaz'

OWN's got you, babe!

Oprah Winfrey's cable network is planning to air "Becoming Chaz," a documentary about the transformation of Cher and Sonny Bono's daughter Chastity into their son Chaz, Deadline.com reports.

Prior to its TV broadcast, the film will make its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 23.

According to Sundance's description of the movie:

"Chaz Bono was a male trapped in a female shell for as long as he can remember. Growing up as Sonny and Cher’s adorable golden-haired daughter in a body he felt wasn’t his own was a crucible it took years to transcend. Now, as he undertakes gender reassignment, he’s bravely decided to share the process on camera.

"Becoming Chaz invites us along on Chaz’s remarkable journey of transformation. As hormone shots give way to top surgery, down-to-earth, unflappable Chaz beams with a sense of liberation and goes public with his story to put a face on a misunderstood issue. Meanwhile, his gregarious girlfriend grapples with the realities of suddenly living with a man, and it’s clear sex change isn’t solely a physical transition."

The movie aims to "reveal the humanity and courage it takes for Chaz to ultimately embrace his true self," Sundance's description continued. "His moving struggle will reverberate profoundly for anyone to whom authenticity matters."

An air date for "Becoming Chaz" has not yet been announced.

    Chaz is so brave to come out like this. I wonder how big her D!CK is and if she has phucked any men buttholes yet. Does Chaz weiner squirt out the manchowder and does she spread the happy goop all over her face.

    BRAVO TO CHAZ BONO!!!!

    FOR YOU BEING SUCH A COURAGEOUS PERSON TO SHARE YOUR STORY ,
    HOPEFULLY, IT WILL HELP TO EDUCATE SOME PEOPLE WHO CANNOT UNDERSTAND SOMEONE WHO IS DIFFERENT FROM THEMSELVES.
    BY YOU SHARING YOUR JOURNEY. IT WILL SHED LIGHT AND BRING UNDERSTANDING TO THIS OFTEN MISUNDERSTOOD ISSUE.
    I REALLY COMMEND YOU FOR BEING SUCH A BRAVE HUMAN BEING.
    PEOPLE, WE ALL NEED TO STOP JUDGING OTHERS AND TRY TO ACCEPT EVERYONE FOR SIMPLY BEING WHO THEY TRUELY ARE.
    WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT.
    THAT IS WHAT MAKES US ALL SPECIAL AND UNIQUE.
    THE WORLD WOULD BE SUCH A BORING PLACE IF WE WERE ALL THE SAME.

    CHAZ BONO- MAY YOUR FUTURE BE FILLED W HAPPINESS AND LOVE.

    Chaznwas born a FEMALE. God does not make mistakes in his creation.

    It is well known that Oprah does not have the highest moral values...certainly with her pro-gay, pro-choice, new-age agenda. And she's very anti-Catholic (or she wouldn't broadcast shows that are in direct conflict to the Church's teachings). Unfortunately, I'm forced to have this channel, but not forced to watch any programming. (Of those of you who miss Discovery Health, FIT TV has taken over the lineup).

    What gets me, even though I am against transgender, is that when done properly guys look better than REAL females!!!

    Oprah, another bad show on your network-really? I thought it was bad enough already, but now you're putting on another show that will shock people so that your network's rating will improve-Fat chance! Your network really sucks & I'm sure your rating are low & I'm soooo glad-You are soooo arrogant. It's less about Chaz & more about you Oprah-Admit it!! The bigger they are-the harder they fall.

    Being in a body that you don't feel is your own?

    Can someone PLEASE GET THESE PEOPLE MENTAL THERAPY???

    For god sake, doctors mutilate their genitals and then call them HE (OR SHE)....OR HE/SHE?

    These people need serious psybological counseling. No different than people who have "phantom limb" syndrome or any of the other myriads of mental health issues.

    Society is F'd up as to what is NORMAL or ACCEPTED. This should be neither. Get some medical help and support. Period.

    CNN: I see no evidence of a "moderator" anywhere on the blogs. The language and tone of the comments are hateful, ignorant, offensive, and juvenile.

    Furthermore, I do not believe that the comments left are representative of your viewership – let alone a general public that is truly concerned with news.
    CNN, this is not the venue for such baseless nonsense. If there are not steps taken to remediate this issue, I guarantee you will lose part of your "fanbase", ie the citizenry that turns to CNN for reliable news reporting.

You don't have to understand Chaz but he has the right to be who he wants to be. Please stay civil here, folks. We can disagree or not understand but there's no room for such hatred.

    I agree it may be important to depict the bravery needed to make such a decision but as someone else said, what about the health repercussions of changing your bodies "natural" balance. This isn't about nature vs nurture and "god making mistakes" as someone else said. If didn't make mistakes that a person wouldn't feel so out of place in their own skin. People will watch this for the wrong reasons...to tease, out of curiosity. Some will be for courage and support but they will be the minority. I don't find reality tv entertaining. I think this is more about publicity. I support anyone's decision to change, you have that right to make that choice and bless you for having the courage to make that you. But are you making it public for the right reasons...?

    I admit I don't understand how someone could come to such an irreversible decision as to change genders; however, it must have been more painful for her to remain a woman than to go through that much to get it reversed. She no doubt had access to the best doctors and most intense care throughout it all. Not many would have this level of care, so I'm not sure it's appropriate to spotlight it on an "Oprah" show. Then again, I have to wonder why Chaz would want to put it into a movie format to show at Sundance!

Because we did or do something in school or life that paints a particular picture and gives us a "complex " or gives way to us being made fun of we cannot point our fingers at ourselves we must blame society and God.

    Straightoutofbeverlyhills. I am sad for you. You should love a care about yourself. What is your fear? Why do you feel so incompetent? I am an educated enough african american that will not judge all caucasions based on your ignorance. I hope that one day you find peace. A mind is a terrible thing to waste...being that you own beverly hills stay out of the sun and tanning salons trying to get the golden brown that I get naturally. Perhaps your upset that blacks don't crack

    There is so much unnatural stuff in this world like using steroids and cigarettes and alcohol and all sorts of drugs like heroin and fertility drugs and botox and implants and half the chemicals you can find in your everday products like detergent and shampoo and even baby wipes and diapers to name a few not too mention metal children's jewelry with lead in it and paints etc. Etc. Etc. If you want to talk about unnatural and poisonous things you could probably talk for months. Personally i try to avoid as much of them as possible. But i am me and i cannot speak for anyone else because i have not lived in their shoes. I can say that it aint always great to live to a hundred years old though especially if you living off medicaid or medicare in a nursing home staffed by kids who may not always care about your possible terminal illness and your family put u there because they got their own problems. Good luck chaz. World peace now!!!!

    Why are folks so mean spirited? What Chaz is doing is between him and the God he serves. We are just bystanders with nothing at all to do with this. This is just a news story for those interested. You hate Oprah – Why? What did she do to you? It's your choice to watch the show or not. I am proud of O. Do you not like her because she is Black, mega rich, and powerful. I believe she worked hard to earn that status. You choose to believe what makes you feel good, not the reality of the situation. What does this news item have to do with Abe Lincoln or who lives next door to you. Be real careful who you shun. That person may be the person you need one day. You never know.

    If she had to go through so much transformation to become a man, why not try to at least look like one? If you are fat and unattractive, what difference does it make if you are male or female... you are going to feel disgusted with yourself either way. Hit the gym Chaz...

    Whenever I read stories like this I'm angry that there isn't more written about the affects of injecting massive amounts of hormones into your body to become more like the gender that is unnatural. It's extremely dangerous, has a lot of unwanted side affects and it cuts your life short. Whether you think whether this is right or wrong is not the point, but I think it's irresponsible journalism to carry on about how brave Chaz is, how wonderful this is, implicitly encouraging others to follow in his footsteps without spending enough time on the fact that he may be cutting his like short, and that there are a lot of terrible side affects.

      And so you've just proved the point, no one would go through this unless it is an very intense issue. He is obviousy more comfortable as the man he is then the female he was born as. Some people will find this to be an interesting and educating film. Others will dwell in their hatred and ignorance of other people and issues that aren't popular. Imagine yourself in the opposite gender body. Of course you either can't or won't as it's easier to judge than it is to try to understand.

    I have a friend going through this as well. He is becoming a she after 20 yrs in the military. "She" was married, had a family and was never happy and constantly got in trouble both professionally as well as personally until her journey of self-acknowledgement allowed her to see what the true issues were in her life. Chief among them was being a woman stuck in the wrong body. She never identified herself with men or did "man" things. Now, she's on one of the most difficult journeys that a person can take in reconciling who she is inside with her outward appearance. But she is also happier than I have ever seen her even though her life is much harder now. The transformation reconciles who they are inside with what the rest of us see outside. That's a difficult process not just for her but also for her family and friends. But it has also been a very liberating process for her as well. So before all the haters go bananas on this story, consider how you'd feel if it were you or your child in this position.

      The article about Chaz, is one to be applauded. These issues about transgender are real and people need to be educated about them. These children are not responsible for why this happens. By presenting this to the public will help society to understand and hopefully be more acceptable of the decisions that these children have to make to live a happy and fulfilled life. God bless them.

    I think this is extremely courageous of Chaz to do. There continues to be so much hatred for those who are different and being gay is not someting that othees should judge. I do admit that this transition that Chaz has chosen to take is ..... wow very severe, permanent. I only hope that he will be completely happy, and he must be for all of the effort that he has gone through.
