I'm down with the percentage being extremely low (0.001%)? but i mean in the comments below someone's saying it's the case for them, so unless you think they're lying there's at least 1 person out there.

I'm implying that in some rare circumstances, the idealization of some very attractive trans women might be an appealing thing for an extremely unhappy incel-type men. This seems like not a totally insane thing to think might possibly happen, rarely.

If you don't understand why you're getting pushback then I recommend some self reflection and more research into how harmful claiming trans people are "failed men/women" actually is
