as a completely cis dude, | would press this button immediately, without question. There are a lot of things | would do for money, but shit I’d do this for like 20 bucks… maybe less?

She said with all too much confidence

A DAY!??!?!

    Girl? Girl implies youth. So, get a million dollars or be young again?

    I’m a straight dude and would press the button in a heartbeat because I don’t see either of those options as problematic (as the meme usually suggests).

      I’m wondering how literal “girl” is. Like, would I go back to being a little girl? Absolutely not. But would I go back to being like 20? Maybe! There’s some shit I’d like to do differently.

      However, I’d wayyyy rather have the cash.

    Everyone here debating the mechanics of the button or engaging with the question explicitly posed.

    But I’m just trying to figure out wtf the bottom comment in the pic is about. A day? What day? No time frame is ever mentioned in any other part of the post.

          Most likely just awkward rounding when the screenshot was taken. A lot of the time those post age indicator tags just count the number of hours between it and you then each multiple of 24 is a day without caring about when the actual date changes. So the first could easily have been at like 7pm one day and the second like 11am the next day and they’d both get abbreviated at 6 days ago if you were looking at it at like 4pm when you haven’t quite hit the next multiple of 24 hours.

      Arch-user in the image said they were a “completely cis dude” and would hit that button, then replied to themselves (~1 day later) calling herself “she” - implying they became(?) trans within that time period. The final response is from another person, incredulous at the short timeline between “completely cis” and trans

      The comment-times both say 6 days for the arch user and 4 days for the person commenting “a day” so I’m assuming on their end there was about a day time difference between the time the arch user posted the post about the button and realising they’re probably trans, which is exceptionally fast and worthy of the day comment.

    I’d press it as long as I get to keep my parts down there. I’m way more attached to my anatomy than my gender.

    I have a question though:

    If I became a girl through the button, the button would then change and give me a 1% chance of becoming a boy. I could just proceed to then press the button again and be myself again and get a bunch of cash

      Why would the button change? Its explicitly a girl button

        Well, in that case, I’d like better odds. What am I supposed to do with a million dollars?

        I guess I’d press it anyways. 1% is better than nothing.

          A million bucks is a lot of money to transition with! Instant transition or luxury transition, win/win 👍

      Wait, we can push it more than twice. I’m smashing on that button until it breaks.

      I can easily pay to transition back if the whole girl thing doesn’t work out.

        Well, but transitioning back probably wouldn’t give you a functional penis. Idk how the whole schbang works, but I doubt it’s erectile and excitable

          I’ll manage. I old enough that sex isn’t top of mind. It would be no different that having prostate cancer whose treatment lead to the same outcome, minus the millions.

          oh a clit after t does get erect and is excitable, but it rarely gets big enough to allow for penetration

    I’d press it a few times. In the end, I think I’d care way more about never working again for the rest of my life than being a guy.

      Same. I’m about halfway done already. What’s another 40 being a bit different? I’d be lucky to have such a varied perspective on life.

        It would at least make the last half more interesting because there’d be more learning, unless the button takes away ADHD the dopamine alone makes it worth pressing
