Chaz Bono’s making a cameo on Degrassi! Obviously there must be some sort of interaction between him and Adam…

Also, he’s emceeing a battle of the bands, Maya finally gets that band she wanted together. I’m liking the mix of characters in this too: Zig, Imogen, Adam, Mo, and Maya? Aside from Zig and Maya, and the one scene where Imogen meets Adam with the tampons in her nose, I don’t think any of those characters have ever had scenes together! I hope this is a sign of more cast integration this season!

Television Without Pretty: How Transphobic Was Last Night's Cake Boss?(via @Gawker)

Trans bombshell Carmen Carrera, best known as the fourth runner-up of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 3, is asking TLC’s Cake Boss to apologize after her appearance on last night’s episode.

So, Carmen knew full well that this whole appearance was meant to be a “Surprise, she’s a transwoman!” joke, and she’s upset for them making a big deal about her being formerly male (or as she says, she’s upset that they label her as currently male, she would’ve been okay if only they said that she USED to be male)? While the treatment and concept of this entire “joke” is transphobic, sickening, and offensive, Carmen should be held somewhat accountable for being irresponsible enough to agree to being a part of this in the first place!

I just want to make clear that I obviously do not agree with how she was treated in this. I’m just appalled to find out that she knew what the point of her appearance was in the first place, and still agreed to taking part without assuming that a cheesy reality show wouldn’t portray her in such a way. I had heard about this whole mess thinking that she was duped into everything, but apparently that’s not the case.
