Learn English – What word is used to refer to a transvestite hater

single-word-requeststerminology

Suppose that someone hates transvestites or hermaphrodites. How should we call such a person? What are most appropriate words to describe exactly that kinds of intolerance?

It is in some way close to homophobia, but not exactly.

UPD: For my dear down voters. This is a regular question, one of many of such questions. It is nor a joke, neither I'm trying to troll. Actually, this question came up to my mind after I had read following Kurt Vonneguts' quote:

Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Homophobe has already been coined to mean a person having an aversion to homosexuality. And it turns out there is already a term, gynandromorph, for a creature of combined "male" and "female" type. One could surely refer to a person having an aversion to transsexuals or hermaphrodites as a gynandrophobe.
