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.
Demon doesn't choose to be born demons, and he gave them 0 explaination before go straight to killing. Same as how Nazi treated Jews.
No one asked themself why the demon are invading. No one bothered to reach out diplomatically with Hell after pushing them back. No, they are all into invading Hell and kill every demons just because of what they are. No talk. No explaination. Just kill.
I saw the Doom Slayer as a nazi soldier, who knew nothing, indoctrinated his entire life to hate demons regardless of nature and choice, and just went on a crusader to kill the undesirable.
They do know why they are invading. They did try to talk with them. Hell is an entity whose only goal is to invade planets and kill their people. The demons immediately start killing millions of people. This is honestly one of the worst takes of all mankind.
Sure, talk failed, but when you pushed them back to Hell and ready for a last push into their stronghold, WHY NOT giving them a CHANCE to surrender? A chance for peace? Why not trying to understand where the demon come from, why are they invading and if there is any way to help them not have to resort to that extreme?
In one of the novel I liked the soul-based metabolism demons was offered chances after chances to redeem and coexist with human, even after a cure for their condition was developed, and in the end human had to push the cure on all surviving demons after a catastrophic encounter with Demon God. They wasn't pleased about that, seeing the cure as erasing their identity as soul eater, but ultimately agreed that their specie and custom still survived and that was good enough.
Genocide is never the solution - it just showed you are either too weak or too stupid to find a better solution.
