The '''trans-vestigiality hypothesis''' is similar to the [[homocel hypothesis]] and the [[incel transbian pipeline]] in that it suggests that a significant segment of the transgender population used to be incel. It suggests that inceldom may cause gender dysmorphia in some people and by extension may lead a person to consider gender transitioning. Anecdotes from incels and studies on non-human animals suggest this may be due to a desire for the transitioning incel to avoid confrontation with stronger men (or disgusted women), to [[deincelize]], and/or simply an attempt to live life on [[tutorial mode]] (i.e. as a woman). The case studies depicted on the [[trannymaxxing]] page (see [[trannymaxxing]]) or other one's depicted below show that transitioning to female can aid in [[deincelization]]. However, some incel-turned-transgenders remain incel (or [[transcel]]) upon becoming transgender.<ref>https://www.westernjournal.com/study-claims-transgenders-suffering-straight-people-arent-dating/</ref> | The '''trans-vestigiality hypothesis''' is similar to the [[homocel hypothesis]] and the [[incel transbian pipeline]] in that it suggests that a significant segment of the transgender population used to be incel.
