In the war for transgender represenation on Dancing With The Stars, Chaz Bono has won out. But Thomas Beatie, the married man who used to be a woman and has famously borne three children, is pretty peeved off. He wanted to be the transgender dancing star, dammit!
Now that we know which D through Z-list “stars” will be on the upcoming season of “Dancing With the Stars,” I bet you’ve been all aflutter about who’ll be paired with whom.
And even if you haven’t, here they are anyway. Pretend to care, eh?
Courtesy of People:
• American soccer star Hope Solo will attempt to fill the dancing shoes of season 12 finalist Kirstie Alley alongside Maksim Chmerkovskiy, who hoped to dance with the goalie.
• The show’s first transgender contestant, Chaz Bono, will dance with Lacey Schwimmer.
