6. I agree that the trans girls incur the most ire.

I think the subtext is misogyny. On an unconscious level, the idea of someone giving up their male privilege to live as a member of the "inferior" sex is extra horrifying to them. They can't allow themselves to admit that, so that emotion gets channeled into hysteria about "protecting" women and girls. That's my take, anyway.

I think they do hate all trans people. Their reaction to the m2f folks is the most hysterical, but they are equal opportunity haters.
