Because men are biologically programmed to hate and control women. The women on reddit are now under control, they are only allowed to describe womanhood in a way men approve of. Men have always feared women thinking for themselves. Every man, in every country, throughout history. Men believe women were put on Earth to serve men. Beliefs in how a woman should serve men might differ. A right wing man might believe women are obligated to obey their husbands. A left wing man might think women are obligated to make him feel like a woman. But at it's core men are entitled and hate women for not giving them what they want.
The satisfaction a man gets when he beats up a woman for misgendering him is the same satisfaction a taliban gets when he beats up a woman for going to university. Both of them are retribution for the woman who refuses to submit to male control.

Wow! That is… very sexist.

I am biologically male, and do not fear this. Everyone should think for themselves; I do not care which group they are in.

Men believe women were put on Earth to serve men.

I also do not believe this. I believe that all people are pretty much equal, regardless of sex/gender, race, etc.

No one is obligated to do anything, except perhaps to not actively harm others through, say, violence. You can disagree with trans people if you want, but other people in other locations also have a right to do what they want, and you have a right to not go to them. Basically, what I am saying is that I am libertarian about transgenderism: do what you want, and you can create a safe space for any side if you want. My preferred solution in the case of bathrooms: individual bathrooms instead of gendered ones. That way, no problems can occur within the same gender either. But you can do your preferred solution for them too, if you prefer.

I do not truly hate anyone, not even the person that stole my old phone and destroyed it, and especially do not hate blanket groups like "women". I oppose discrimination based on factors that people do not have control over.

The satisfaction a man gets when he beats up a woman for misgendering him

I do hope most trans women do not do that, but can't be sure (I do not have the statistics on it). Beating up people is not at all the solution to this. I prefer debate and disapproval of people's actions to violence, especially for an infraction as relatively minor as misgendering. A person offending someone is not grounds to beat them up. That is extremist, though an extremism that may be worryingly prevalent.
