Try to step away from your bias here and look at what you've written objectively, as if you're reading someone else's writing. Does that person seem rational and logical or does it seem like they've jumped to conclusions? Set that aside and ask yourself, besides this are there things in your life that are bothering you that you'd like help with? As suggested elsewhere, this may be an excellent time to consider therapy and focus on some self care.
Okay. How about this. Look at these papers.

These are "security researchers" calling on the government to treat incels just like I've been treated. There. Now are my claims more plausible? Of course, these people have their own biases and political prejudices, whether feminist, whether concerned about Trump, whether concerned about "is it good for the Jews." But for sure they have the ear of the government.
These are unpublished, unedited and non-peer-reviewed papers. Anybody can write a paper; that doesn't mean the papers are right.
When you google "incels" at a place like google scholar, almost all the material is from globohomo type academics demonizing them and calling for their intrusive monitoring by the security sector. those two articles are but just two examples. because the war on terror has winded down, in incels wolfish feds see a bounty justifying their fed jobs.
I see a trend of you demonizing most people except incels here
