Chaz Bono spent 40 years of his life walking in shoes that never quite fit. While the world saw a woman, he was always a man living on the inside of a female body. This unique journey gave him a front row seat to how people treat women differently than men. You really need to see how he explains this strange perspective in his own words.
Chaz noticed how the world changed the moment he started presenting as a male. He speaks about the ‘male privilege’ and shares how it contrasts with the objectification he felt before.
