Some incel Youtubers have referred to many cases of male to female transsexualism as "advanced inceldom".  Female to male transsexualism, which occurs at a slightly lower rate than male to female transsexualism, is also often seen by people in the incelosphere as a voluntary [[incelization|incelizing]] process, and as such is highly amusing to incels.

That being said, pretending to be a female is unlikely a sexual strategy due to a very low prevalence rate of transgenderism of 0.001% (see the criticism section).

A more likely and related sexual strategy is [[homosexuality]] (which overlaps with pretending to be a female) through enabling sneaky [[mate poaching]], as evidenced by women reporting to find gay males more trustworthy than other males.<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0191886921001021</ref>

==Criticism and statistics==
With a prevalence of only 0.001% among adults,<ref>https://tgmentalhealth.com/2012/02/13/the-prevalence-of-transgenderism-an-update/
https://tgmentalhealth.com/2010/03/31/the-prevalence-of-transgenderism/</ref> transgenderism is unlikely much more prevalent than [[wikipedia:Mutation–selection balance|mutation-selection]] balance would predict, hence it is unlikely an evolved sexual strategy.
Young transgenders (which are much more common than adult transgenders) appear to often use the protected class status of transgenderism as a means of status ascension (a.k.a. ''transtrender''), which is evidenced by the fact that most revert their sexual orientation after a while. Many adult transgenders show signs of deleterious [[mutation]], [[mentalcel|mental disease]] and/or adverse social environments, which is not to say that they are inferior humans or second class people, but that these may be critical components of their etiology and counter-evidence to their phenotype being expression of an adaptive sexual strategy, at least in humans.
These claims are corroborated by the statistics below:
'''Transtrenders'''
*About 88% of children who have gender dysphoria grow out of it.<ref>http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=90229789</ref>
*Only 12% of boys who believe they are transsexuals still believe so when they are older.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18194003</ref>
*Only 21% of transsexuals can successfully pass as the opposite gender.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160602125319/https://www.thetaskforce.org/static_html/downloads/reports/reports/ntds_report_on_health.pdf</ref>
*Transsexuals who undergo sex reassignment surgery are more likely to commit suicide.<ref>http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0016885</ref>
'''Behavioral deviance'''
*Transsexuals are four times more likely than the average person to be infected with HIV.<ref>http://www.nbcnews.com/id/40279043/ns/health-health_care/</ref>
*41% of transsexuals have tried and failed to commit suicide.<ref>http://www.nbcnews.com/id/40279043/ns/health-health_care/</ref>
*Most young transsexuals have committed self-harm within the last twelve months.<ref>http://saravyc.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2015/05/SARAVYC_Trans-Youth-Health-Report_EN_Final_Print.pdf#page=44</ref>
*65% of transsexual youth have seriously considered suicide within the last year.<ref>http://saravyc.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2015/05/SARAVYC_Trans-Youth-Health-Report_EN_Final_Print.pdf#page=44</ref>
*37% of transsexual youth have attempted suicide within the last year.<ref>http://saravyc.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2015/05/SARAVYC_Trans-Youth-Health-Report_EN_Final_Print.pdf#page=44</ref>
*1 in 10 young transsexuals has attempted suicide more than three times in the last year.<ref>http://saravyc.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2015/05/SARAVYC_Trans-Youth-Health-Report_EN_Final_Print.pdf#page=44</ref>
*16% of transsexuals have been sent to jail or prison, compared to 2.7% of the general population.<ref>http://www.avp.org/storage/documents/Training%20and%20TA%20Center/FORGE_Trans_People_Police_Incarceration_Facts.pdf</ref>

'''Economic adversity'''
*44% of transsexuals with a job are underemployed.<ref>http://www.hrc.org/blog/entry/transgender-workers-at-greater-risk-for-unemployment-and-poverty</ref>
*Children raised by gay couples are twice as likely to be in poverty as children of straight married couples.<ref>http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/headlines/beyond-stereotypes-poverty-in-the-lgbt-community/</ref>
*20-40% of homeless children identify as homo- or transsexuals compared to only 5 to 10 percent of the overall youth population.<ref>https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/lgbt/news/2010/06/21/7980/gay-and-transgender-youth-homelessness-by-the-numbers/</ref>
'''Mutational load'''
* MtF transsexuals are about three times as often left-handed than the general population. (p < .0001),<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/21414644_Left-handedness_in_male-to-female_transsexuals_3</ref> which is considered a marker of mutational load.<ref name="menie2017">https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref>
*Transsexuals are more likely to have autism than the general population,<ref>http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00787-005-0469-4</ref> which also correlates with mutation accumulation
*53% of mothers of transsexual children have Borderline Personality Disorder, compared to only 6% of mothers of normal children.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2016237</ref>
*One third of transsexuals are being treated for mental health.<ref>http://www.medicaldaily.com/transgender-people-more-likely-develop-depression-and-anxiety-247044</ref>
*85% of transsexuals show signs of psychological distress or have been recently treated for mental health.<ref>http://www.medicaldaily.com/transgender-people-more-likely-develop-depression-and-anxiety-247044</ref>
*44% of transsexuals show signs of clinical depression.<ref>http://www.medicaldaily.com/transgender-people-more-likely-develop-depression-and-anxiety-247044</ref>
<!-- unreliable, false or boring:
*MRI scans indicate that MtF transsexuals are either men aroused by the thought of possessing female genitalia or homosexuals who want to seduce straight men.<ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3180619/</ref>
