I'd suggest abuse in trans affirming spaces maybe isn't the cause of such transphobic extremism, internalized cis supremacy or something else adjacent to it probably is.
They put up with or ignore abuse in transphobic scenes because overall they get their social needs met better in those spaces. Not saying this to defend those communities but just to say what I've seen. Often the belonging comes first and then the ideology follows.
People can also go from being low status in the queer community they left to being high status in the rad fem/detrans community. How people have been treated in different groups they've encountered seems to matter a lot.
I agree with almost all of that. But I'd also ask what it is in a transphobic scene more effectively meets someone's needs, that a trans affirming community doesn't?
That is a hard question to answer and depends on the person. And who they're relating to. Sometimes the first sympathetic ear they come across happens to be a rad fem who draws them in. Sometimes people want permission to hate others because they're so angry about being hurt.
