Chaz Bono says he would have transitioned from female to male as a teen, if he had the chance.

But the transgender celebrity says he had no idea what a transgender person even was when he was growing up, and that teens today have so much more support available to them.

Bono says that's one of the reasons he spent much of Thursday on the set of Degrassi in east end Toronto, where he shot a cameo with the show's transgender teen character, Adam.

"There are a lot of trans kids and teens and to have representation of themselves really means a lot," Bono said before heading in front of the cameras.
