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!??!?!

Average arch enjoyer

hperrin ,

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.

This is the definition of a win-win scenario.

I mean if you mentally become a female as well as physically then it is basically just a new life (would be super weird for your relatives or significant other though!).

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.

Sas ,

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.

stevestevesteve ,

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

Starkstruck ,

It took them a day to realize they're trans. The reblogs have timestamps.

Zoomboingding ,
@Zoomboingding@lemmy.world avatar

Both reblogs say 6d ago

EmptySlime ,

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.

hperrin ,

She could have changed her profile pic after that comment.

5C5C5C ,

I like to imagine the profile pic changed immediately after the transition was complete, and at the time of the "completely cis" post it was something manly, like.. I don't know, hotwheels?

Maggoty ,

So uhhh. On the premise that women can't slam this thing as many times as they want without consequences so they also stand a risk of a gender swap...

Why would we not just keep pressing the button until we turned back?

Okay but all of that gone, 1 press, these are your chances, fuck yeah. In a fucking second. This isn't a hard question unless you're already wealthy.

shasta ,

You can't just change the rules! Women finally get a win here! Free money with no consequences

Maggoty ,

Okay okay, I guess we can let you guys have the one win. :)

I seem to be the minority here, but, while I'd press the button, I wouldn't mash it or press it a bunch of times, or eagerly press it... because periods. And PMS. And misogyny. But, mostly periods.

I think being a girl has some pretty sucky parts that is guys completely avoid, and for which I'm really grateful. And I think a lot of dudes who fantasize about transitioning sort of skip over, although I guess with no ovaries trans women get to avoid the worst of it. Although they still have to deal with the patriarchy, and that's pretty shitty.

So, yeah. I'd press it, but with some trepidation.

julianh ,

I've heard that some trans women get "phantom periods" after hrt, like the hormonal cycle still happens even if the parts aren't there.

@pixel@pawb.social avatar

Cis men have hormonal cycles too, it's just not accompanied by your body contracting rapidly or you bleeding out of your privates so men get to pretend they don't have cycles

I call it my meriod

@sxan@midwest.social avatar

That'd take some of the fun out of it, I guess.

ssj2marx ,

plot twist?: you become a girl but literally nothing about you physically changes

trashgirlfriend ,

Button just gives you gender dysphoria

@klemptor@startrek.website avatar

What a terrible button! :'(

hperrin , (edited )

So no change at all for our uncracked sisters.

Dakkaface ,

I'm going to push it a bunch. What happens if I hit that 1% more than once?

HoodieGyaru ,
@HoodieGyaru@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

You become the ultimate girl.

Zorsith ,
@Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Exponentially increasing chest size. You don't want that level of back pain.

Ledivin ,

Press it a thousand times and then transition back 🤷‍♂️

Randelung ,

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).

TotallynotJessica ,
@TotallynotJessica@lemmy.world avatar

Are you sure you wouldn't have a problem becoming a girl?
