he 40-year-old Bono, formerly called Chastity, was born the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono and has been undergoing female-to-male gender transition since March.
Speaking about the process he said: "It lowered my voice...Fat redistributes, muscle growth, hair growth, sex drive increases."
Bono added: "I always felt like the male from the time I was a child. There wasn't much feminine about me.
"I believe that gender is something between your ears, not between your legs. That is something I discovered in the early '90s. It was just a long process of being comfortable enough to do something about it."
And turning 40 was his last chance.
He said: "I was turning 40 and I thought it's now or never. I want to still feel vibrant and be able to enjoy my life in a male body and not wait until I am an old man." (ANI)
