Cher still refers to her gender bending son her daughter, even though Chaz hates it.
Cher has revealed she still can't get used to the fact that her daughter Chastity has had a sex change to become Chas - and revealed she still calls him 'her'.
Talking for the first time about the gender realignment of her only daughter, the 64-year-old star said however that her son didn't mind.
Chatting to David Letterman on his chat show last night wearing a daring see through top and leggings slashed up the sides, Cher said she and her only daughter had talked about it for years before she finally underwent the surgical procedure.
She said: 'During the years we have talked about it and I don't really know what made her change her mind - I still haven't got the pre-nouns right, but she says that's not so important - he had changed his mind, she had changed his mind and then it didn't make very much difference.
'But it kept nagging and nagging and one day he said to me, I think I really have to do this.'
The double Oscar winner revealed that she didn't always find it easy to accept that her daughter was transgender either.
Cher confessed: 'The day that we talked about it, really talked about it seriously, I said "If you have to do this you just have to do it."
I wasn't always able to be quite as calm through the process, but that day I was so calm, and just thought, this is what has to happen.
The singer and double Oscar winning actress said that Chas had first started to talk about being trapped in the wrong body more than a decade ago.
Cher explained to Letterman: 'She was a lesbian. She still is. But it's not the same now. She has a beautiful girlfriend.
'But it's not the same thing as being a homosexual, you feel as if you're in the wrong body.
'I was saying to someone the other day, I really like being a woman, I feel so comfortable in my body, and if I woke up and I was in a man's body, I'd think oh my god, I've got to get out of here.
'And that's the way Chas felt, it was never comfortable. He's very comfortable now.'
She added that such a major life change had been made even more difficult for Chas because of who his mother was.
Cher admitted: 'A lot of people have come up to me and said Chas is very brave, because to make this decision with me as your mother, it's difficult, because you're in the limelight, there's no place you're going to hide.'
Chas, 41, her daughter with ex husband Sonny Bono, who died in a freak skiing accient in 1998, was originally named Chastity Sun Bono after the film Chastity, which was produced by her father and in which Cher made her movie debut as a bisexual woman.
She underwent a surgical sex change and legally changed name and gender after a two-year process in in May this year.
Cher was on Letterman to talk about her comeback with new movie Burlesque after playing Las Vegas for the past three years.
David jokingly got her to confirm rumours about who she'd slept with over the years and read out a list of names of Cher's supposed conquests.

Well I'm glad she came to terms with it because I haven't. I have always said its ok if she's a lesbo but your cher's daughter like cher is the most womanly beautiful chick drags desire to be her. So I just thought she should be a girly lesbian but whatever
*clears throat and knocks lightly* Ummm, excuse me GJ, it's gender REASSIGNMENT, not gender REALIGNMENT.
Cosign with 1:11. She and rosie got that thick neck thing going.
chaz is one unattractive chick/dude
As for Cher, she has always been slender and attractive and, as a mother, it would take her some time to deal with the 'change' her daughter has undergone. Cher will always look at her and see Chasity.
Be careful how you choose to name your children - I bet they never thought their daughter would be dick free for life when they named her Chastity...
^^ rofl!
LOL @ 10:48!!!
she looks like kim k 8o
I don't care what cosmetic procedure man has conjured up to satisfy a spirit of abomination, Chas will always be a woman according to God and Her DNA!
^^^Got that right!!!
I have to co-sign with anonymous 2:19pm said, she was born a girl, grew up to be a woman, has woman parts, and when her moma who named her and gave birth sees her that what she is and will always be her daughter, makes you feel sad for cher she oozes all this sex appeal, and had a boy and a girl and both of her kids are confused, her son is gay, and her daughter is a lezbian.
