Chaz Bono now legally a man!

My pal Karen Ocamb has shared this wonderful news on her LGBTPOV site:

Statement from Transgender Law Center Legal Director Kristina Wertz: “Today the Transgender Law Center represented Chaz Bono in a petition for change of name and gender. The court granted the petition and Chaz now has a court name change and a court order recognizing him as male. Chaz couldn’t be happier. This is an important step in his transition and will allow him to change a variety of his identity documents to show who he truly is.”
