Most people point to his essays on GNU.org

The best I could determine is that his treatment of chosen pronouns got him labeled transphobic, the abort joke is him being misogynistic (that was him preserving historical/cultural context) in addition to a rather unfortunate lapse of character when coming onto a student once. Most everything I've found tends to map back to stuff dredged up while he was under fire for the Minsky stuff.

Got a thorough write up of the debunking of lies though!

The irony is stallman posts are possibly the least transphobic things possible. He calls for a new word to be added which is both gender neutral and singular since he doesn’t believe “they” is adequate.

This is what he is being called transphobic over.
