The witch turned the creep into a woman and the spell was complete by the time she flew away. Unfortunately, like many women, the creep was born with the body of a man (she’s AMAB). Maybe the witch could have changed her body, too, but that would have made things far too easy, given that the point of the curse was to teach her empathy.
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.
I think it pokes against a popular idea of transforming into opposing sex. So many men imply that they would be transformed into a hot attractive woman. Not an unattractive one.
This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches
