Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool.

Religion.
There are plenty of atheist transphobes.
They exist, but let's not act like religion isn't playing a huge role in the perpetuation of trans hate. If a person says that they dislike trans people, 9/10 times they are going to be religious. A lot of other cases will stem from a person coming from a religious family, or culture, if they aren't religious themselves.
It's not a requirement to hate gay and trans people to be an atheist, but it is a requirement to at least act like you do to be a member of many different religious denominations.
I would say that religious institutions allow the congregation of people and thus a congregation of thought into similar things as one another, not that religion as a whole is transphobic or something. Ain't no need to use the same kinda bigotry you hate to justify saying something so wildly vague as to be useless. Use some more nuanced and complex thoughts please.
I can point to multiple denominations of religious people that literally say that being gay or trans is forbidden, yet I can not find one Atheistic group that does the same. To act like religion doesn't do it's part in perpetuating this kind of hate is foolish.
I'm not saying all religion is bad or worthless or anything, just that it definitely contributes to this problem. I'm also not saying that all religions are the same, its mostly just the Abrahamic ones that seem to perpetuate the hate more than others.
Which is a lot more nuanced than the OP reply of "religion".
Fair point, the OP is a bit over the top. I agree, It's not all religions.
Oh god they're the worst. Their "XY genes is science" crap would fly a lot better if they bothered to learn anything about genetics that went beyond fucking Punnett Squares.
Of course, there is that one high profile atheist who did learn a bunch of Biology, then decided to ditch it because it was incompatible with being the disagreeable fuckwit that he so longed to be.
Richard Dawkins is a huge bin bag full of arses.
Hey downvoters, let's hear how great Dawkins is.
