 There's more if you look at his timeline, but this is a good start.

 Well, I don't see any hatred in this. His opinion may not be strictly accurate in all cases, but that doesn't make it bigotry. That term in general is often abused. If this is the worst of the alleged bigotry, I'd say the term is being abused.

 Sexist bigots often use stereotypes and make generalizations about the abilities, roles, or characteristics of different genders.

The term implies the person has an intolerant, close-minded, and prejudiced attitude towards gender equality and the rights of women and other gender minorities.

Sexist bigots may discriminate against or show disrespect towards individuals based solely on their gender identity or expression.

 Mike Dilger has 99 annoying qualities; that ain't one of them.

If he is as uninformed about trans people's lives as he sounds, then I'm guessing he didn't live ten years in a big city's arts & red light district like I did.

And if you're catastrophing and letting that take affect your mood, you probably didn't grow up in a dumb AF small town like I did.

Life is too short to re-enact junior high. 

Let's write good code, post informative articles, and spread good vibes.

 It's not the worst, take a stroll through his timeline. This time, it just got called out.
