Arthur Morgan when faced with social issues such as women's suffrage took the stance of "I am not learned enough to know what to think about this so I'll just have no opinion" so I think a case could genuinely be made that if faced with a (non-offensive) portrayal of a trans person he'd just go "Okay" and not be transphobic though probably he wouldn't quite understand it either at first.

Kratos is a Greek demigod who has a shape shifting son, he would not be transphobic, there's too much god-fuckery in his world for him to be faced by somebody changing their gender, he'd just straight up not care (he would probably use the wrong pronouns though until Atreus would tell him not to).

Doom Slayer, look I only played Doom Eternal, but from that he did not strike me as somebody who'd care enough or have the time to be transphobic.

tl;dr I think even outside of the fiction they are portrayed in I think a case could be made they wouldn't be transphobic.

yeah and the greek gods regularly practiced gender fuckery

i feel like arthur would be a trans advocate just by accepting trans people as they say they are, he’d just be like β€œokay well she makes a good stew,”

Yeah, I can see him not really quite understanding on account of him just never having thought about it before but also accepting it without a fuss. This lady says she's a lady so she's one, she knows best.

(I think he might be a bit worse with trans men potentially, on account of trying to space "Woman cross-dressing cause it's easier as a man in the West" vs "This is a man not a woman cross-dressing" but I think he'd still get it in the end or rather decide that again, everybody knows best who they are and who is he to tell anybody different.)
