>>81771764 (OP)incels go autophilic ie autogynophilic because they are straight and that is a fancy word for trans
vestite, sexual, gender or whatever doesn't matter they are just using their own body as the object of desire
when a tranny (in this context) has sex with a man the man is just a tool to create what is essentially live pornography of themselves which is the real sexual stimulus: a pseudo woman
so, to answer your question concisely, yes, people have gaslighted themselves into being gay and, while i haven't done it, being trans is how they did it
other avenues are extreme fetishes which overshadow gender based sexuality (for example a scatophile might not care what sex the pooper is)
