There is no shortage of stories that relate to Chaz Bono and the transgender re-assignment surgeries he has gone through to successfully make it through his transition. Chaz was recently featured on ABC News discussing a variety of issues that people were curious about now for some time.

Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel was recently quoted in the ABC News article:

“Most people describe rejecting those feelings and they can get depressed with the sense that they are living a lie,” said Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, chief of facial plastic surgery at Boston University School of Medicine. “But with therapy and information, they come to see that it is a disorder.”

“For many people, the goal is to transition in a way that they disappear from special scrutiny,” he said. “The goal is to blend in.”
