Oh. Yeah I asked that almost a decade ago. I got banned often for it, or just for screencapping the catalog page.

I think it has to do with the trans mentality. A trans is extraordinarily immersed in their ego. This is a natural result of isolation leading to a 24 hour indulgence in fantasy.

From a distance, its easy to look at /lgbt/ as a trans community of many, but I dont think thats whats happening. There is community in the sense that they gather here, most likely because 4chan is probably the lowest effort platform for entry and discussion; ie no profiles, log-ins. And the lax atmosphere is appealing to young dissidents of all types.

So they gather here to learn, putting it bluntly, how to trans. And trans, representing the peak menthol of sexually obsessed, have a lot of second stage trans who are eager to teach others, doubling down on their new identity. (The first stage is the learning, the last stage is when they have nothing left to learn and become disinterested in each other, which you wont find much online).

So /lgbt/ acts as sort of an online peer school for them, and in that, you can say there is community. By comparison, gays moderate their interests, if only marginally, and dont remain anywhere that access to sexual activity is low and discussion about anything else is high; thus the prominence of gooners itt.

But the mass replication of threads isnt a result of this 'community'. The egoist nature of the trans manifests as constant announcements to others for attention. Each one arrives needing to broadcast to the world.

So each trans thread ends up being a public diary. Whatever is one the mind of each one has to have its own self interested thread. Its all about "look at me, not over there"...
