"In the December issue of Vanity Fair, Cher opens up about her son, Chaz.\r\nBorn the daughter of Cher and Sonny Bono, Chaz, 41, began undergoing a female-to-male sex change last year. At the time, Cher said, &amp;quot;Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nShe is more candid during her Vanity Fair interview, telling editor Krista Smith: &amp;quot;If I woke up tomorrow in a guy&amp;apos;s body, I would just kick and scream and cry and f------ rob a bank, because I cannot see myself as anything but who I am -- a girl. I would not take it as well as Chaz has. I couldn&amp;apos;t imagine it.&amp;quot;\r\nShe says she is still getting used to the transition.\r\n&amp;quot;She&amp;apos;s a very smart girl--boy! This is where I get into trouble,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;My pronouns are f-----. I still don&amp;apos;t remember to call her &amp;apos;him.&amp;apos;&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nLooking back, it wasn&amp;apos;t easy being a parent and being in the spotlight. Her kids are still working through past issues, she says.\r\n&amp;quot;I think Chaz is pretty much finished with it, and I think Elijah [her son, 34, with rocker Gregg Allman] has a little longer to go, but they both really love me a lot,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;But it&amp;apos;s hard.\r\n&amp;quot;One time, when Chaz was little, we were on a field trip, and she said, &amp;apos;I&amp;#x2019;m so pissed off, Mom. You can never not be Cher &amp;#x2014; we can never just do something.&amp;apos;\r\n&amp;quot;So your kids pay,&amp;quot; she continues. &amp;quot;I did the best I could do, and yet it was definitely lacking.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nAs for aging, Cher - who returns to the big screen at age 64 in this month&amp;apos;s Burlesque -- says, &amp;quot;I think Meryl [Streep] is doing it great. The stupid b---- is doing it better than all of us! But I don&amp;#x2019;t like it. It&amp;#x2019;s getting in my way. I have a job to do, and it&amp;#x2019;s making my job harder.  &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve been screaming at the top of my lungs at my family, &amp;#x2018;Work out! Work out! Old age is coming!&amp;apos;&amp;quot; she continues. &amp;quot;At some point you will need the strength. Who would have ever thought you would get this old?&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
