Violence against trans women is sadly par for the course - as is violence against genetic women too.
It usually seems to be associated in my experience, with anger and resentment against women in general, and I suspect its tied in with the independent nature of women as people, contrasted with the sexual nature of women as objects, in the basic male mind. It is in the resolution of these two competing impressions that a man becomes worth having as an ordinary everyday partner - but that resolution can be different depending on the underlying experiences and psychology of the man in question. Where the "object" becomes predominant in the resolution, one finds the dominant male end of the spectrum, where the "people" becomes predominant one finds the submissive male end; in both cases, the predominance of one aspect is not at the total expense of the other, but a satisfactory balance is achieved.
But that resolution of conflict can sometimes never be achieved, and the two aspects will compete with one another in the male psyche throughout a lifetime, with one or the other coming to totally supersede the other from time to time. At one time the man is able to recognise that women are people and not subject to his desires, at another he see the reverse that women are the objects of his desire and subject to his will. This conflict can cause him to be the sweetest wooer, and the most violent controller in the space of hours. He is out of control, but he also realises his fault quickly when sense returns and feels immense guilt at what he has done.
With trans women the whole thing can be brought to a head quickly - and without guilt. For the purposes of this situation, she represents woman to him in both aspects, but in his deepest mind he knows she is not. He can use her to satisfy his desires but always retain a distance from her, and he can beat her without remorse, for she is he in his mind, and she will do just as well as a representative of woman for that purpose as for satisfying his desires.
