Alea commented on The Trans Community Has a New Enemy: A Misogynist Who Appointed Himself Spokesperson For the Movement But Who Has Made Anti-Trans Comments and Must Be Confronted!.
“I never really understood women before, to be honest, but I had a tolerance for women that I don’t have now.” I laughed. Chaz blushed. “No, really. There is something in testosterone that makes talking and gossiping really grating. I’ve stopped talking as much. I’ve noticed that Jen can talk endlessly.” He shrugged. “I just kind of zone out. I just don’t care!” He laughed. “I’ve learned that the differences between men and women are so biological. I think if people realized that, it would be easier. I would be a great relationship counselor. I know the difference that hormones really make.”
Here's an excerpt of an interview he did which is the quotes most often used to show his sexism.

Alea commented on Outing the Bullies.
The first boy is obviously upset about being called "special" and yet the reporter still calls him "special needs" in the story. And in the second video the reporter tries to keep her hand on the girl for a long time and it obviously makes her uncomfortable. Just ignorance I guess.

Alea commented on Confidential to Mars Hill Church Members.
@24: Yep, I heard that stuff straight out of my mother's mouth. She wasn't as straight-forward about masturbation. she usually stuck with the "lust is committing adultery in your heart" way of thinking. She practically worships Mark Driscol though, so I'm sure if she read his views on that stuff she would whole-heartedly agree.
@33: I'm sure anything involving trans* people is seen as so obviously sinful that it doesn't even require an explanation! ;)
From a semi-serious standpoint, I'd say yes, because the trans guy you describe (I assume because of your pronoun use) would be looking at a male in the mirror, even if he has breasts or a vagina, therefore SO UNSTRAIGHT. Same goes for a trans woman, she would be looking at herself and even if she has a penis she would be looking at a female. Right, right?

A thing that crossed my mind when hearing Dan ask "How is it that a girl can grow up without knowing about her own genitals?":
A lot of it is biology. You can look down and see your penis, you can move your testicles around, etc. With a vulva though... you can't see it on your own. You'd have to have a very flexible spine to actually be able to see your own hymen without a mirror. And the act of actually grabbing a mirror to look... that could make it weirder. It makes it less casual. And it's not as convenient to do so many probably just don't.

Alea commented on SL Letter of the Day: Natural Born Hermi.
And just pointing out the obvious here: Calling someone a "hermi" is just plain offensive. Your parter may be okay with it, but that doesn't make it apply to all intersex people like you've done here.
And if you've only ever been attracted to this one person, that would probably be "demisexual". It's on the asexual scale. If you've been attracted to other people I'm sure you know what you are.

Except for asexual men... they are just very few and far between, yes. But there are men who don't watch porn. But these are the same men who don't have sex. So you wouldn't be dating them, ladies.

Do not circumcise your kids. You are cutting a newborns genitals! How can this be okay? Why take the chance that something could go horribly wrong? For YOUR own preference? How do you know that their future partner won't PREFER it uncut. Lots of people do.

Alea commented on Santorum: Assfucking For All! But No "Privileges" for Gay Couples!.
I thought it was interesting there though that he says "They have the right to employment..."
Santorum supports ENDA, then? Or would he smarm his way around that too?

Alea commented on SL Letter of the Day: His Ladylike Tastes In Porn.
I have seen the said footage of "girl exercising" and "man walking on beach". To be honest, I don't think the two clips were comparable at all.
The girl was early twenties, blonde and fit, exercising naked on a white set. The man was early forties, he had a lot of body hair and a full beard, and a bit of a gut. Also, the film seemed to be home-video quality.
Now, I'm sure that both of these people are attractive, but the girl was much more conventional, and honestly I (a gay guy) preferred her.

If he is ruling out ALL trans women, then yes, he is a bigot. Because there are many women who have had bottom surgery, let's say they've been on hormones since they were 13 or 16 or whatever. And there is just do way to tell if they are cis or trans.
If he is attracted to someone, and would normally love to sleep with them, but then finds out they are trans and changes his mind, EVEN THOUGH THAT CHANGES LITERALLY NOTHING, yeah, you're transphobic.
