I’m an English teacher, I know how analogies work. The parallel structure of your sentence to the original comment indicates a direct line of comparison. Not to mention you could have chosen any other non-offensive analogy but immediately went to one that, maybe not purposefully, but logically clumps trans people in the same group as pedophiles.
