Chaz Bono "Would Love" to Talk to Brad, Angelina About Shiloh

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s adorable four-year-old daughter Shiloh developed a reputation as a tomboy early on. But when she insisted on getting her haircut and being called Peter instead of Shiloh, it raised some eyebrows.

Brad and Angie respected her wishes and are letting her just enjoy being a boy and hope it’s just a phase she’ll grow out of it. Except there’s a chance it’s not a phase.

Chaz Bono, formerly known as Chastity before undergoing gender reassignment, sees a lot herself himself in Shiloh and wants to sit down with Brad and Angie to talk about little Shiloh. Bold move.

"I would love to talk to [Brad and Angelina] at some point," Bono, 42, tells E! News. "To at least let them know we have this resource for them if they ever need it."

"I relate to these kids," he tells E! "The difference between them and myself is that I didn't articulate it and fight for it and say, 'No, no, no! I'm a boy!' I have so much respect for these kids that do."

In a Vanity Fair article last June Angie admitted that Shiloh wanted to be a boy. “She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy. So we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers,” she told the magazine.

Just because she likes to play with boys doesn’t mean she is one. It’s sad that tabloids will put a 4 year-olds photo on their cover and comment on why she doesn’t like to wear dresses.

Angie added that she wasn’t worried about her because she was just like Shiloh as a kid. But Chaz sees it differently. Sure, he has a new book (Transition: The Story of How I Became a Man) and a new reality show (Becoming Chaz) to promote, but using a famous A-listers kid to do it is a little strange.

Do you think she he has the best intentions or is he name-dropping Shiloh for press? You be the judge!

Chaz Bono to Oprah: There's No Doubt My Mom Loves Me

Chaz Bono, the transgender advocate and child of Sonny and Cher Bono, has undergone gender transition surgery and is telling the story of his transformation in a series on the OWN network. Bono appeared on the Oprah show where he discussed the issue of transsexualism as well as his relationship with his famous mother.

Chaz Bono, formerly known as Chastity Bono, underwent gender transition surgery and has made a documentary about his life, which will appear on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

I’m convinced all of the men who have a problem with gender transition surgery are just jealous that the guy gets to choose his own penis size.#justkidding

Bono told Oprah: “The truth is a lot of parents never speak to their transgendered kids again. That’s not the case in my family. There’s no doubt about [my mother’s] love for me.”

Bono explained that, because of the fact that Cher is an icon due to her progressive outlook on LBGT issues, people forget that she’s a mom, too.

In 1995, Chaz was outed by tabloids as a lesbian. At the age of 39, Chaz Bono began a transition from female to male. The topic has become less and less taboo in the Western World(not in naija), especially with so many celebrities speaking out about LBGT issues. It’s becoming so common, you can’t even get a bad haircut without people thinking you’re undergoing gender transition.
