Transgender activist Chaz Bono has said he is frustrated by calls for an ad boycott against an upcoming episode of Degrassi: The Next Generation which deals with transgender issues.

Bono will appear as himself in the episode scheduled to air this fall. On the episode, Bono will play a celebrity guest judge at Degrassi's Battle of the Bands and share a scene with Jordan Todosey, whose character was bullied after he came out transgender.
