Chaz Bono received dig after dig during his performance on Dancing With The Stars.
Now Cher's superstar son has been criticised from some unlikely quarters after Warren Beatty and Annette Bening's transgender son blasted Chaz as a misogynist.
Stephen, 19, born Kathlyn, has hit out at the 42-year-old, who underwent female-to-male gender transition between 2008 and 2010.
Writing on his blog Super Mattachine, Stephen took issue with Chaz's view that transgender people have effectively been born with a 'birth defect' - something Bono said in an interview with the New York Times.
Chaz described being transgender as effectively having a 'mismatched' brain and body, akin to a 'birth defect like a cleft palate'.
But Stephen fiercely disagrees: 'I do not have a birth defect. If you feel like you have a birth defect, fine. That’s how you feel. Go feel that,' he wrote on his blog.
He went on: 'Do not put it onto me. Do not define me that way, and do not define other trans people that way unless they claim that label.'
Stephen continued, by branding Chaz a misogynist and saying that he does no represent the views of the transgender community.
'[Chaz] has appointed himself as the representative of a group of people who are not all like him.
'He has said misogynistic... things about gender. I take particular issue with his comments on trans embodiment and on women.'

No fair, I don't know that one.
... unless it’s the one about who had the right to do what and with which and to whom... in which case you deserve 30 lashes with a wet noodle for rhyming “Rangoon” with “room” and “whom”....
GMTA! You’re spot on.
I don’t want to hear the limerick, Mr. Arrows.
There once was a fellow from Munich
Who decided to become a eunuch
He wielded his knife
And changed his whole life
And now he looks good in a tunic.
There once was a queer from Rangoon
Who met up with Bill in Kowloon
He could plat the Harmonica
And behave like Monica
Which totally pleased Old Klintoon.
I just made those up. I hope it helps. LOL.
plat=play. sorry. I was caught up in the moment.
I wouldn’t care if [self-edit] and then switched the head on the bodies. As if anyone would be able to tell the difference.
Thus my discreet allusion. ;^)
I had no doubt that Freepers would be familiar with great literature.
I can't speak for Slings and Arrows' limerick. I hope it's one I don't know.
The one I referred to is quite tame. In deference to your request, I have typed it in invisible HTML. You can read it if you wish by using the mouse left-button and selecting the text as if you were going to copy/paste it:

An adventurous queer from Khartoom
had a lesbian up to his room.
They argued the night
over who had the right
to do what, and with which, and to whom.

Screwed up kids of drug crazed “stars” who would have guessed?! /s
Ping for your expertise.
Oh, my! Those are quite good!!
40 years ago, this headline would have been written as a spoof in MAD magazine.
How quickly and how far we have fallen...
I work with a middle aged woman who loves this kind of thing. She thinks Ronald Reagon was an idiot but loves 0bama.
Forcing your kids to grow up in Hollywood is child abuse IMHO.
Welllll....You gave the inspiration! LOL
Thank You.
You have a "discreet allusion"!! Wow, who knew? Here I thought it was probably just a foil-wrapped cucumber...
Or you were happy to see someone... :)
Ha Ha ha! i just highlighted the original! LOL.
