I agree that it's not very compelling evidence. Conservatives are well known for their support for trans people.
I see what you're getting at and I agree, but on the other hand I don't think hating trans people is a prerequisite to being conservative. You can be socially somewhat liberal and economically conservative. Or maybe you're fine with identity politics but hate immigrants. Or you can merely be classist. There's a whole spectrum of hate!
The complicit action of voting for or participating/aligning with a political party that enables, allows, or focuses upon ensuring the continued harm of the LGBTQ population makes a person a reactionary. Therefor if someone identifies as conservative and votes conservative they are, "whether they wish to admit it or not", participating in the marginalization of trans individuals. Similarly people that align with the democratic party (another end of the neoliberal spectrum of America between Dems and GOP) without acknowledging their own shit in the shed are also within a reactionary political body and complicit.
