Know what's on the Internet? Photos of naked people. Know what's also on the Internet? Annoying fake lesbian Katy Perry, who's just given us a reason to finally push her off the "frenemies" list and into the "enemies" category, thanks to a transphobic tweet.

Oh Twitter, how you get the famous into trouble.

After spotting a naked photo of a trans person (hairy body + breasts), Perry uploaded the photo to TwitPic with this caption:

Katy Perry has been accused of transphobia after using Twitter to mock a photo of a trans man.

The singer, who found fame with her faux-lesbian hit I Kissed A Girl, posted a photo of a naked man with a beard, hairy chest and breasts.

She wrote: "NSFW! I knew those little white last week of the birth control pills would still have an effect on your body! FU."
