Most transphobes come from a background of very limited educational achievement and typically live a lifestyle with a pretty high level of violence, distrust, and negative emotions generally. From what I've seen, most of the people who perpetuate attacks against transgender people have a pretty extensive preexisting criminal record and exhibit numerous other prejudices as well. Retooling institutional culture isn't necessarily going to affect them at all because they're generally living countercultural lifestyles already.

Lots of the replies here are talking about cultural conservatives -- I don't think it's right to call them transphobic necessarily. Most of them just object to the extremely censorious rules that have been imposed around the issue in public discourse and disagree with offering transgender therapies that have permanent consequences as a first resort for kids and young people experiencing symptoms of what could be gender dysphoria.
