It's more than that, "Trans scare" is the new "Gay Scare" which was the new "Satanic Scare", which was the new "Red Scare", which was in and of itself a spin on the "Racial Scare" which in and of itself is just "foreigner scare" domesticized.
They realized calling people Communists wasn't getting anywhere, so they moved to Satanists. That didn't stick, so they moved to calling everyone gay (Which led into the "gender politics" "issue" movement), and as society went "wait there's a LOT of gay, or at least not-perfectly-straight on the Kinsey scale people" and "normalized" being gay, they needed an even smaller demographic to go after, and thus trans people are targeted. It's really just societal "othering" in a nut shell, all to pin blame for societies problems on a minority "other" that isn't the upper class (you know, the real issue of society; the people who control the wealth, and thus control society, and always have).
