Giving birth to Chaz

[edit]

Cher did not give birth to Chaz Bono. She gave birth to Chastity, a girl. Chastity's choices later in life do not change her birth gender. I believe the proper reference to any changes is "Cher gave birth to Chastity Bono (now Chaz Bono). 2600:1009:B006:7232:0:47:8830:E301 (talk) 16:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We are not engaging in conjecture about the difference between recorded "birth gender" and subjective gender. But I added the birth name of Chastity to complete your request. Binksternet (talk) 19:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per MOS:GIDINFO Chaz Bono's birth name is not appropriate here. Removed. PianoDan (talk) 00:06, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You are in error. To say that Cher "gave birth to Chaz Bono" is untrue. If Wikipedia EVER expects to be usable as a reliable source, it needs to print the truth. You need to reinstate the statement, "Cher gave birth to Chastity Bono (now Chaz Bono)." 174.26.239.88 (talk) 04:32, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 12 February 2024

[edit]

I request an edit be made right after this sentence: "her mother, Georgia Holt (born Jackie Jean Crouch), was a former model and retired actress who claimed Irish, English, German, and Cherokee ancestry.[2][3]"

The edit should go as follows:

"However, Cher does not in fact have Cherokee ancestry and has disavowed her previous claim." Here is a source. https://dnaconsultants.com/cher-the-half-breed/ Alexis Rouleau (talk) 22:13, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. I'm not sure this website meets the bar for a reliable source. PianoDan (talk) 00:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Vegetarian??

[edit]

Is Cher vegetarian? I see social media citations of her saying (i) that she doesn't eat meat and (ii) that she tries to reduce all other animals products.[1] MaynardClark (talk) 21:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Name

[edit]

Her name has been changed to Cheryl. It was indeed originally Cherilyn, and she has said this before! I’m sure it’s mentioned in her original book “the first time” will have to dig this out! 2A04:4A43:907F:FD6C:14AB:372F:EEDA:B5EC (talk) 19:12, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
