Y'know, I think you and a lot of people mistake House for being homophobic, racist, sexist, and transphobic (maybe a little more credit to that one, but if the show was being made in more modern day we might see otherwise). None of them remotely realize,
He's being edgy.
He's purposefully getting a rise out of people because he likes getting people angry at him.
If you listen to what he says when he ACTUALLY means what he's saying, he's actually progressive, especially for the time. He calls the HIV guy's dad a bigot because he thought he hated his son for being gay. He told the football player "you won't need to play sports now to get a good career" when his skin started to discolor to white. He literally said "white, skinny, pretty people make all the rules in society" at one point. All of his actions prove that he believes women are just as capable as men are, if not more so in some cases, especially with Thirteen and Amber. He's FIERCLEY pro choice and doesn't even try to hide it or pretend otherwise.
And while he definitely has some pretty terrible stuff going on with intersex/trans people, the show frames him in a bad way for doing so.
House is a horrendous person in a lot of ways, but he's not ACTUALLY a bigot. He just likes to pretend to be because he hates it when people like him and tries to push them away.

... thinking about that episode when House forces Wilson to buy furniture for their apartment because House wants to prove a point to Wilson. he wants to make Wilson realize that he dosent know who he is. he dosent know what he wants. so Wilson goes to the store, he spends the whole day there infact. wandering isles trying out different chairs and inspecting tables. for a moment he thinks house might be right, he dosent know what he wants. but by the end of the episode do you know what wilson bought. do you know what he decided he wants. a piano. he bought a piano. he dosent even play piano. but House does. he knew House would like it. he bought it FOR House. HE BOUGHT IT BECAUSE THATS WHAT HE WANTS. HE WANTS HOUSE-

house didn’t hate amber because she was annoying or bitchy or taking too much of Wilson’s time. Whether he hated her or not is even up for debate.
I think it’s a kind of guttural moment when house and Wilson are talking about why Wilson likes amber so much. And then house says “you’re sleeping with me”
To me, house hates amber because she is him. She is him in personality and humour, but she’s a woman.
House finally has to realise that, well, Wilson is capable of dating someone with houses personality. It’s just that he doesn’t want to date a man.
It’s this moment of: so it isn’t me, it’s this uncontrollable thing: my gender. This thing I can’t change that’s stopping me from loving you.
