I definitely agree with Jessica. I have known gay bashers that turned out to be gay themselves. Best thing to do is just let it go because the person arguing with you probably has trans feelings himself and hates it and just projecting it onto others.
Oh yes, did I know a gay basher who turned out to be gay himself!
I used to work with a guy who spent an inordinate amount of time trashing all things queer and frequently accused one of the co-workers of being a closet case with the tired old "If it looks like a duck, etc. argument." Anyway I'm pretty sure the person he was bashing on wasn't actually gay, he just wasn't having any part of the pseudo-macho dudebro work culture.
As it turned out, basher guy had a serious cocaine and crack problem. He was fired after falsifying his own sales records to inflate his bonus, then took his severance and stormed out of the building in a huff while leaving all of his personal belongings behind. When his brother came in the next week to retrieve his stuff, we got the whole crazy story. He took the money, spent it all on drugs, hit rock bottom (his brother's words) and was escorted directly to rehab. His brother mentioned that he and his father had to search his place for drug and paraphernalia stashes and came across a locked trunk that they had to break into. Instead of drugs they found a cache of gay porn and soiled dildos. His brother asked if we knew about him being gay!
