There's possibly two areas at play here.

One, misogyny. To put it succinctly:

Male to Female trans; Why would a MAN want to give up his power and prestige to be a /WOMAN/!

Female to Male trans: How cute, a /WOMAN/ is pretending to be a MAN.

The second part is internalized hate for being untrue to themselves because they cannot fathom living in the society they created for trans people.

That's how I have come to understand transphobia.
