A Different Kind of Man?
I saw a brief clip on the Internet for Dancing with the Stars, in which Chaz Bono – who not long ago went through transgender surgery to become a man – stated that he came on the show to portray a “different” kind of man. The audience responded with a very large ovation and a few hoops and hollers.
He then went onto say that had he had that type of role model as a kid, his entire life would have been different. Applause and affirmation again from the audience.
Obviously, Chaz’ reference to a different kind of man points to the fact that though he was born a female, he chose to have surgery done so that he would become a man. It’s an interesting play on words, I guess, but ultimately, what Chaz means is that he is the different kind of man; a man who was created that way surgically.
