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.
Not all the needs being met are necessarily positve. Getting permission to act out can be a big draw for some. These spaces can also offer people a strong sense of identity. Lot of people go into lesbian feminism/separatism for that reason.
It's complicated and there's no one cause. Of course living in a society that already very transphobic plays a role but there's often a lot of group dynamics and interpersonal stuff going on too. Just think that's something people should consider when addressing this stuff.
Again, I agree. But that still takes back to questioning how much a role ideology plays from the start, and what it might feel like if I were to hear someone give a similar framing as used here in relation to other hate groups, like homophobes.
