My main argument about transphobes not all being obviously maliciously intended is partly because the "good intentions" are structured to facilitate harm also.
I think maybe a better framework than intention and malice (personal, psychological) is Values communicated (social, organisational)

This is excellent & draws out something the rest of the media is ignoring: among other things, the Epstein files have made it super, super clear that the entire "anti-woke" cultural hysteria was engineered by powerful men averse to accountability.

The reason I mention the documentary Tickled is because it seriously demystifies a less bombastic example of a criminal conspiracy and because in general, conspiracies of abusers follow a pattern that everyone recognises from your office bully and their cronies up to the grandest scale.
There's a really really good documentary called Tickled (2016) by David Farrier, which starts off investigating a fetish pornography ring which was clearly abusing and coercing unwitting young performers in the fetish tickling genre. Big shot lawyers come for Farrier. People fly to NZ to silence him

A report that's gone under the radar suggests that trans people make up 1% of people living in safe accommodation after experiencing domestic violence, despite best estimates that 0.5% of UK population is trans.
Realistically this will be an undercount, bc many trans people won't disclose.
