Envy.
Rowling is upset that she's had to endure a lifetime of misogyny, and envious of men. When she sees trans women, she assumes they have it better than her because they got to be male, and gets mad at them for not enjoying having what she wants.
Steven Crowder isn't trans, but he does have a crossdressing fetish, and he's mad trans women get to do his fetish all day long. He wants that, but he can't have it because he'd eventually feel dysphoric.
Andrew Tate is furious that nobody thinks he's pretty. He has to traffick women in order to get them to have sex with him. He wishes he had the attention that women get, and he's mad that trans women are "males" who get to be pretty. He doesn't want to be a woman, but he wants someone to find him attractive.
Donald Trump just wants to be the center of attention. He doesn't hate trans people, but he knows attacking them gets him attention. He wants to be in the news.
FTFY. Trump hates everyone who isn't himself.
Spite. The dirty bomb of emotions.
