Seriously, people need to get a life...

When it comes to reality shows, I usually do not pay much heed--unless it is something like Top Chef or the like. I feel they are a dime a dozen.

However, when the controversy known as "OMG!!!! THERE IS A MAN WHO USED TO BE A WOMAN DANCING ON TV...THE WORLD WILL IMPLODE"

Well, not really.

The debate was when the latest cast was named to "Dancing with the Stars," Chaz Bono was named. Forget for a moment that you have a flaming Gay dude on there, or a ruthless, controversial former prosecuting attorney, or the daughter of sixties pop icons whose sister was predisposed to sex with their father... people are all over Chaz Bono.

Let's play catch up...

Chaz Bono was born Chastity to Sonny Bono and Cher. She came out years later as a lesbian, but in the end, became transgendered. Yeah--I know...confusing.

A lot of people are up in arms. OMG!! Especially this group called something like 100 Moms or some ridiculous crap like that. "How do we explain this to our children?" to "I will not watch it and protest ABC...blah blah blah."

Really?

See, this is the thing. Unless transgendered people are brought up regularly, I'm going to be blunt to these offended moms: if your child never knew that Chaz used to be Chastity, they aren't going to know. It's not like Chaz is showing off the chest scars where his breasts (as in female breasts) used to be, and he's not using some hot button to pop a boner. If I didn't know any better, I would say he was, well, a man.

This is where I think that these people need to get a severe clue. Really. I mean...we have far worse things in this world to worry about than whether Chaz used to be Chastity.

I may not watch this show but I am rooting all the way for Chaz.
