as much as I love Hank I don't see him being much an LGBT Ally (Especially not to T's) without breaking character)

Hank meets a trans woman who tries to explain being trans to him, and he just doesn't get it. He has a mental block. He insists that she's a beautiful young woman and he also likes her "brother" quite a lot.

In another episode he helps Bobby buy a bra so he can dress up as a woman.

Yeah, but like you said he didn't understand the concept.. and as for the latter example it was for Powder Puff Football and he even stresses that Bobby can basically "Never dress like this again" afterward

I can imagine Hank being ignorant, stubborn, and dismissive, but I can't imagine him being directly hateful. I think his behaviour at the grocery co-op is a good indicator. Hank got along perfectly well with potheads, hippies, and vegans, as long as he was able to teach them the value of hard work.

If I meet Hank Hill I'd tell him "I ain't no woman and I ain't no man. And if I catch you running your mouth to the contrary, I'm gonna kick your ass. You can call me Mx. Mindtraveller, and refer to me with the pronoun "they". Understood?" And that would be that. He'd mess up, of course, and I'd respond with a stern look and a faint growl, and he'd get the hang of it sooner or later. The key to these kinds of men is simply speaking their own language. You have to demonstrate your rugged individualism and ability to fight for your own dignity, and you need to phrase bigotry as a violation of the social contract and of good manners.

The only people who Hank really gets mad at in the show, are those who are violent towards women and children, and those who lack the determination and good sense to accomplish what they set out to do. Hank respects people who can look after themselves.

Yeah I put it there with the whole thing with Kahn "So are you Chinese or Japanese". Super shit, but you know they would have happily drank with him in the alley if their personalities didn't otherwise clash.

This is the same character who had to pay a guy to buy coop beef from the hippies. He had no trouble supporting them but couldn't handle the application process.
