You don't see—I think mostly because for us, TERFs are the more immediate problem—a lot of talk about the batshit incel take on trans women. So far as I can tell, many incels think trans women are THEMSELVES incels, like some lost tribe that stared too deeply into the abyss.

That is, of course, when they can be bothered to acknowledge trans women at all, because so yonically fixated are these goblins that they cannot really be arsed to form opinions on anything that doesn't affect vaginas or the access to vaginas thereof.

This is pretty much the most prominent incel narrative surrounding trans women: they're males who "jumped ship" from maleness to get laid easier. (In their minds, they're the people who have it hardest, so anybody else's lives—even trans women's—are a step down in difficulty.)pic.twitter.com/h6utx6GNOE

It's honestly kind of awe-inspiring how simplistic—archaically, almost Paleolithically simplistic—this rationale is. If a "man becomes a woman", and dating and sex become easier, it's not because that person finally became somebody they LIKED, but because womanhood = easy.

They can't engage with trans identity except in the context of access to sexual intercourse. If transness ISN'T some incredibly dedicated gambit to get laid, then, reasons the incel, transness doesn't make sense.

The funny thing is that this is pretty much the funhouse mirror version of TERF ideology, specifically their scaremongering about the "cotton ceiling". Trans women become women to access the bodies of other women. The main difference is that incels think that's just guileful.

Imagine being so single-mindedly obsessed with something that you cannot comprehend anything— anybody—except in relation to that thing. Everything one can do, everything around you, must be for sex. Trans women? Do it for the sex. Gay men? Do it because sex with men is easier.

Did you know incels don't think lesbians are real? Their educations (porn) have taught them that all "real women" are available to the male gaze, and for male consumption. So lesbians don't really love women; they're just trying to attract Chad. No other narrative is possible.

I mean, it's certainly no secret that the worldview of incels is reductive and dehumanizing to the point of being practically alien. But you really have to see how they view the things in their periphery to fully understand how little they understand.

Oh, and for the record, because incels overlap with the alt-right, there's still also a plethora of incels who utterly loathe trans women and call for our complete extermination. But that's not native to incel ideology, so far as I can tell. No, it's just their hobby, really.
