I think trans people are a popular target because they specifically threaten the patriarchy. That trans people exist muddies the line clearly drawn line that fascists have drawn between men and women that put men on top as powerful and women as inferior and subservient. If a trans person can cross that line, then maybe men and women really aren't that different, and that's an unacceptable reality for them.
