By Brody Levesque (Washington DC) Mar 30 | ABCNews has confirmed that 40 year old Chastity Bono filed a petition yesterday, Monday, March 29th, in the Los Angeles County, California Superior Court to legally change his name and gender.
According to the Transgender Law Center's Kristina Wertz in Los Angeles, Bono, who has completed all of the necessary legal requirements, made the move to change his name to more accurately reflect who he is becoming—or, in Bono's own words; "Who he's always been."
"He is legally changing his name from Chastity to Chaz Salvatore Bono as part of his gender transition." Wertz told ABCNews.
Bono has been open about his ongoing process, telling ABCNews' Good Morning America in the fall of 2009 that:
"Gender is between your ears, not between your legs. I've felt male as far back as I can remember. As a child it was really clear. I felt like a boy."
Wertz said that a hearing on the request is set for May 6th in Los Angeles.
