Day of visibility thoughts
I think transness hits big existential buttons for conservatives (as Britain’s communists proved in a recent statement, not limited to the official right wingers);
someone can change something seemingly fundamental, and conservatism is at base fear of change. The idea that people can change yet it won’t wreck everything has scary implications about socialism, ecology, religion, racism. And if transphobia is wrong, it was never okay to crap on OTHER minorities. Scary!

Also trans women are stereotyped as what, musicians, coders? Music is a traditional niche for marginalized folks because most money goes elsewhere. Counterpoint, trans comedians. I notice police got upgraded to well off societal heroes, no longer a crummy job to shove on (now conditionally white ie disappeared) groups, so no trans cops; I notice programmer only recently became a desired niche due to money (bet being hired in tech as trans is harder now than in the 90s).
