Warren Beatty's transgender son brands Chaz Bono a misogynist
Daily Mail ^ | Nov.17, 2011 | Daily Mail Reporter

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.'

It was her time. She got 17 years, and they were good years.

Glock, I’m sorry about your losses.

She looks like a girl and whether she likes it or not is one.

Stephen describes himself as ‘a gay trans man for whom both identities are equally important, a white anti-racist, a feminist, and a poet.’

Chaz described being transgender as effectively having a ‘mismatched’ brain and body, akin to a ‘birth defect like a cleft palate’.

Those are the two dumbest things i’ve read in a long time.
These two women are mentally ill and need some serious help.

I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved wife, and your beautiful dogs, GlockRocks. We lost our wonderful Black Lab, Duke, back in April of this year. He’d been with us 12 years - it’s been hard for all of us, especially my youngest who grew up with him. We got him as a puppy when she was 1.

And ya know, that was the most difficult part... once we lost Jan, my (then) 13 yr old daughter inherited Jan's rottie, Shadow... and he slept on the foot of her bed... and when he crossed the rainbow bridge this year, well, the girl was cast alone once again in sorts, as she'd lost another major anchor. She didn't lose sight of me or her younger brother, but she'd lost so much comfort from her life.

My oldest son recently told me he couldn't imagine how a parent could care so much for his kids, and maintain sanity. I have two answers: you don't have a choice, so you do what you have to do, and next, you try to be both nurturer and disciplinarian, albeit with a serious deficit.

I so appreciate your support. Jan developed leukemia. She died from the chemo during the intent to save her life with a bone marrow transplant.

I can say from experience... our society doesn't teach us how to deal with loss. It's a damned lonely path, and a whole lot harder when you're trying to pull an adolescent daughter and even younger son with learning disbilities through it at the same time. My daughter was quite vocal and expressive about things, but it took years for my youngest son, who was 9 at the time, to even discuss his mom's death.

Really, what can you say? ... You do what you have to do I guess.




God, our Father,

Walk through my house, and take away all my worries and illnesses, and please watch over and heal my family.

In Jesus' name.

Amen
