He goes into it in quite some length in his interviews with Joe Rogan. He doesn't really express hatred for those groups, but he explains why they end up the way they do, and why it's a problem for society.

That never happened, and your statement typifies the kind of drivel that he was originally opposed to.
He became famous for saying in no uncertain terms that he wouldn't use made-up pronouns like "ze" and "zir," i.e. that he didn't think it was reasonable for a very tiny minority to expect to have the power to not only re-write the English language, but to determine legally what words people could or couldn't use.
This is hardly opposing transgender rights.

He thinks an argument can be made for rape inside of marriage
He thinks men and women should not work together
He thinks Feminists who are not overly critical of Islam secretly crave male dominance
That's quite the list. Why don't you show where you got all these so we can see what he actually said, in context?
I'll bet $100 that you didn't hear him say all those things yourself-- you've gotten them 3rd-party from some site or blog.

I wish I was making this up. To be fair, he does concede that it can be simulated with magic mushrooms, but he does equivocate between a chemical reaction in the brain caused by introducing a known hallucinogen into the mix and the supernatural (which, by definition, goes beyond that).
