A growing number of young men, often self-identified incels, are embracing a sissy identity—wearing women’s clothing, using makeup, and sometimes taking estrogen—without identifying as transgender or displaying traditional signs of gender dysphoria. Disillusioned with modern masculinity’s demands, they cite societal pressures, economic struggles, and the perceived rise of female hypergamy, women seeking higher-status partners, as reasons for abandoning traditional male roles. “The only way to win the game is to not play,” says Alex, a 24-year-old who adopted the sissy identity after feeling alienated by dating culture. Discussions about “sissy hypno”—online videos and audio designed to encourage feminization—and “sissymaxxing,” the pursuit of an idealized feminine persona, have surged on platforms like Reddit, amplifying the trend’s visibility.
Dr. Rachel Levine, a Harvard College graduate and former Assistant Secretary for Health, supports this movement, stating, “This is a healthy, non-violent outlet for incels’ sexual frustration. These are men who will never have a wife or family; they need a way to cope.” As cultural acceptance of hypergamy grows, experts suggest this trend may expand among men seeking escape from masculinity’s burdens.
