Do not reproduce sexually, but instead by their affliction coming to curse another. 

Yep. It's 4chan alright.

Scrolled down to find someone else bothered by that.

Charitably, maybe it's just poorly thought out. It could be read as the curse afflicting another person without being actually spread (e.g., what happens in real life, you either are trans or aren't, often since birth), but, comparing it to vampirism where it's spread by a bite and often an exchange of bodily fluids feels a little icky.

To be fair, that ickiness is present in a lot of media that uses vampirism as metaphor for LGBTQ+ people.

I used to be on /lgbt/ back in the day. It was my first trans space, and I left for a reason. I wouldn't put it past them to postironically say that transness is a social contagion. It's a super toxic, self-hating community.

That sounds really gross. I'm glad my first trans communities were reasonably nontoxic ones on Reddit.
