It is sexism, in that this promotes sexist stereotypes regarding how women should present themselves. There is similar sexism inherent in the concept of "manhood", as well.

The irony of your white knighting is that its in reply to a kind thoughtful and insightful reply to probably one of the most gender non conforming people you've ever interacted with, who didn't see any problem with it.

This poster is a well known transphobic troll that makes new accounts every week and implies that trans women are autistic males who "pretend" to be women because of sexism.
That being said, saying presenting instead of being is not ideal indeed.
Parent says that "identity is socially-constructed", they defend trans people, they say it "isn't any less justifiable than being assigned good ol' football-playin', roughhousin', English class-hatin', red-blooded American manhood"
- but the fact they said "presenting" as opposed to "being" a woman is sexism, as if they're some "chauvinist pig"?
That's why we can't have nice things...
