Chaz Bono says beginning the sex-change process to turn him from a woman to a man is "the best decision I've ever made." The 40-year-old writer, activist and reality-TV star, who was born a girl to Sonny Bono and Cher, says he's eight months into the years-long transformation and says he feels great.
