There is a whole section of the larger rad fem/gender crit movement made up of ex-radical queers. That's often part of their identity. They attack the queer/trans community because they associate it with people who hurt them.
Ex-queer rad fems built thier own community. Older rad fems didn't create this, as far as I can tell it grew organically. Older rad fems and lesbian feminists welcome these younger rad fems but seemed surprised when we turned up. They thought most of us were "lost causes".
There's this story in queer culture about how radical queer activism and theory triumphed over radical/lesbian feminism, which now "everyone knows" is outdated and dying out. Except it's not. It's experiencing a resurgence and winning young converts.
This story can make it hard for some queer people to see how someone can participate in radical queer culture and then leave it for radical/lesbian feminism. In order to understand this, one needs to see the flaws of the queer community and the strengths of radical feminism.
If you're not able to see how the queer/trans community can deeply wound people, you're never going to understand why some people leave it and then join (or form) groups that attack it.
I'm not saying this to attack the queer/trans community. I don't think it's especially abusive conpared to other groups but like all groups it has real problems. Calling rad fems a "cult" can be a way to avoid dealing with those problems.
I'm also not trying to let people who join transphobic groups off the hook, even if they were abused in the past. They are responsible for their actions and need to be held accountable. Past abuse is never an excuse to hurt others, nor demonize a whole group of people.
