"Becoming Chaz"

I'm looking forward to watching this -

I am saddened at Cher's attitude - As Chaz's Mother one would think she would embrace changes that would make her son feel complete.

What I find interesting is that almost every Drag Queen in America wants to be her and she has no problem with that. Yet, her son wants to be himself and she has a problem with that...Perhaps it has to do with the lime light now being on Chaz instead of her?
Just a thought to ponder...

My initial reaction was similar but then I think of my own plans to transition (male to female) and how it sadens me that from my mothers perspective, her loving son of all those years will have disappeared as my voice and face is feminized. I respect these feelings my mom has. I understand that there are costs to transition but in the end it is more important that I express and present myself as I have always wanted to. She knows I will still be the same devoted loving person she has always known. That is what matters most.
