Becoming Who I Was Always Meant to Be; Transition by Chaz Bono

The title of this memoir "Becoming Who I Was Always Meant to Be: Transition" tells the reader about an extraordinary journey of physical, emotional, and spiritual change that few people ever get to do.

This is the story about the transformation of Chastity Bono, into Chaz Bono. 

The son of the famous duo, Sonny and Cher transitions as the title fortells into his authentic true self. From the first chapter Chaz describes his early years as already uncomfortable in the skin of a girl. He doesn't really know then how much has to change, how much he has to sacrifice and what a struggle it would be to become the person that he could live as - a man. 

Growing up in a “hollywood family” Chaz was allowed to explore his sexuality at a very young age. Encouraged by his mother and Aunt Gee, Chaz defines himself as a lesbian at an early age. But it would be years, doctors, pills, relationships gone bad , the death of his true love and his father’s untimely passing for his old old self to die and his true self to be born. 

At the end of the story Chaz is finally happy with who he is. Not only because of the physical change, but for the rewards of the struggle that he surpassed. And we understand that it was never his choice, this was something he was meant to do.
