It's crazy how the only people that are anti trans are straight men.

Eh, not quite, there's quite a few anti-trans straight women out there too. Their source of resentment seems to be born out of feeling "threaten" by MtF specifically due to;

Being able to make themselves look "ideal" while footing all of it on potentially free "medical needs" surgery.
Previous masculine body type and build allows them to dominate at women's sports.
Then there's the whole restroom thing, namely that it was women freaking out over MtF's "sneaking into" their restrooms moreso then men worrying about FtM in theirs.
And of course you have your religious fundies.

You'd also be surprised to know that there's a sub-section of the LGB community that loathes trans folks, and not just for the same "trickery" mentioned in the topic so far, but also because said LGB don't like the idea of the T "stealing their limelight" when it comes to social progress. Hell, some of those same anti-trans LGB? They're some of the biggest advocates of "trans are actually pedos" if *only* because they're trying to throw some of that child-molester stereotype off of themselves, they especially love using the "going to grab your kid in the restroom stall" angle, and they've had a field day with the whole "kids identifying as trans before 18" thing because it implies that the trans community is championing "sexually aware and active" minors.

Straight men might make up the most violent portion of transphobes, but they're not the only vicious and vile one.
