Cher's son has reportedly revealed more details about his sex change.

Chaz Bono, formerly known as Chastity, began the process of a sex change in March, and has said that he's happy he can now shave.

Bono told Entertainment Tonight: "I shave about once a week now. It kind of started to come in just like peach fuzz.

"I always wanted to shave. It is a very natural process. For my birthday, I got a lot of shaving stuff."

Bono, who said that sobriety helped him transition from woman to man, has had his breasts removed and is now taking hormones.

He added: "I always felt like the male from the time I was a child.

"I believe 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."
