    This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches make folks transcast body dysmorphia. Maybe I’m missing it.

      One witch made one man trans. It doesn’t mean that the mission of all witches is to give out gender dysphoria, nor does it mean that trans people are trans because a witch did it. Life assigns these sorts of things apparently at random anyway.

      I mean, a true sceptic could imagine that the witch in this comic had no magical power at all, but her words filtered down through the man’s psyche to where he has always been struggling with his identity, and they gave him the excuse to face it.

      Witches do all sorts of things for curses, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the conditions don’t exist outside of witch curses. I don’t think many people would disagree that being trans sucks, though, they just disagree about what it actually is and what to do about it.
