I think they're just mad trans people exist, and pronoun selection reminds them of that.
It fits with their bullshit about wanting non-political games. Their politics are fueled by hatred, and it infects their escapist treats to be reminded of the mere existence of minorities and trans people.
Take this further, many of them probably wouldn't think of trans people as real people if it wasn't for their representation in media. That's why they take the fight to the treat factory.
Chuds with an unfortunately wide overlap with weebs (chanlords, mostly) are obsessed with what they call (CW: transphobic weeb word)

"futas"Right, and those dehumanizing portrayals are challenged by nuanced and positive portrayals in media which is why the chud brain must reject any representation. Honestly, media in general plays such a huge role in shaping social attitudes towards a less visible minority group such as trans people. I'm glad Hexbear anti-treat thought guides us to a dialectical understanding of this issue
