Good, let him rot. And let it be a sign to anyone else who intends on being a bigoted asshole.

I just interviewed someone who I'm pretty sure is a trans female. Her being trans didn't come up, because it wasn't relevant at all to the job position. We're probably moving forward with her because she did better than the other candidates for the role.

It wasn't an issue, and I doubt it'll be an issue if she accepts the position because I don't work with bigoted jerks. And this is in a very conservative state.

The court of public opinion is not and will not be on this person's side. Your gender identity does not change your inalienable rights. I too hope this bigot rots in prison.
