Well what’s going on here? 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.

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.'
Stephen concluded: 'Chaz is a misogynist. He is a trans man who seems to believe that his female-assignedness and his female socialisation makes him immune from being a misogynist, and he is manifestly wrong.
'This man doesn’t represent our community... The next time you hear Chaz’s name brought up in a conversation about trans issues, point out the things he’s said about surgery, ‘birth defects,’ and women.
'Because I don’t want a single person thinking this guy is the best of us.'
Stephen describes himself as 'a gay trans man for whom both identities are equally important, a white anti-racist, a feminist, and a poet.'

His father, the famous actor Warren, also dated Chaz's mother Cher back in 1962. Beatty and wife Bening, who married in 1992, have four children together.
This is Truly Ridiculous!!!
