But I was once told all human interaction can be broken down into power dynamics.

For M->F transexuals maybe its resentment that someone would betray their gender for gender role that society views as being inferior, and people feel like they are undermining the order set up by society. Similarly, maybe F->M transexuals are seen as upstarts trying to take a position of power that society did not give them to begin with. Feelings of jealousy and betrayal being the fuel of their rage in both cases.

Again, I don't know, im just speculating. I don't understand why people hate others over something that does not harm them in anyway.
