What sane person would turn that down, even if they're cis? I'm pressing that thing until I'm the richest woman on the planet; it's better than being a moderately poor guy.
- Cis male here. Im absolutely smashing that button. No current desire to be a woman, but i also dont see it as a drawback. I see no inherent "risk" to in the risk/benefit analysis
  
  Same situation, but I'd have to discuss with my SO before I smash it, and I'd likely only press it once.
  Bluntly, if you invest it correctly, even at a 1% return, you can make $100k in yearly interest on $10M. That's more than my salary.
  However, having that stable and passive income is less important to me than my partner. If she didn't want to take the risk of me becoming a woman, or if she would leave if it happened, I likely wouldn't risk it. To put it simply, her, and her happiness, is more important to me than money. Money I can make, I can't exactly find anyone that will even come close to living up to what she means to me. People like her are not exactly super common.
- I'm sure it's a popular button, but a lot of people would turn in down. If someone is comfortable with their current wealth and gender, they may turn it down. People are also likely to turn it down due to fear of unforeseen consequences (where is this money coming from)? Some people would turn it down because they really really don't want to be a woman. And some people would turn it down because money is a corrupting evil force.
- eh i don't think it's quite enough money to be worth it for someone who is properly cis and currently well off, like there's a reason gender dysphoria is something people want to get rid of..
- I wouldn't hit it. I would find it horribly annoying to be treated like a women forever. The money i could gift away though. Would be tempting, but the fear of being a woman would stop me.

How many times can I press the button?
I mean, I'm a cis man, but I'd press that button like I didn't understand the word "inflation", and if I turn into a chick then smack my ass and call me Judith, because this bitch just got herself a hot pink Barbie styled 6x6 Brabus G-wagon

All the cis dudes in here thinking it wouldn't be so bad to be a woman: you don't know what dysphoria is like.
- If I was a woman I wouldn't have dysphoria, no? Unless it altered my body without doing anything to me.
  (I guess if it was a sadistic genie it could also alter the brain but not the body, handing out dysphoria without physical change.)
- I just presumed that turning me into a woman would entail no gender dysphoria, as opposed to like "change your body into a woman's body" which would leave the rest of my psyche unchanged, and then probably I'd get dysphoria.
  But hey, interpreting vague language is half the fun of stuff like this.
  
  Nothing in the rules about spending a bit of your $10M to transition back
- $10M would take the edge off
  
  I mean as I understand it if you turn into a woman, you don't get the $10M, so it's a pretty big gamble unless you actually want to be a woman.
  It says 99% chance of 10 mill, 1% chance of turning into a woman
- You just keep pressing until you turn back.
- not every trans person has dysphoria, do they?
  considering this is a magical button the assumption would be that you become a cis woman, so you probably wouldn't have the setbacks of body dysphoria or transphobia. just regular old misogyny.
  I'm guessing it would affect people differently, psychologically speaking, to be in the wrong body as a result of a conscious choice as an adult knowing everything you know beforehand vs being born in it without a choice and not even understanding what always feels wrong until a certain age.
  some people may identify as cis but not have a strong connection to their gender identity or masculinity in general. it could be cis & male privileges combined that you don't even think about it much but still
- If you are so CIS that you find male bodies ugly, ... that's a flaming lesbian as a result right there. (But I know what you mean* just a jokus)
- Works out if you're agender but unaware
  
  Agender people can have dysphoria

Presses it 100 times
- 37% chance to make a billion dollars.
  63% chance to make less than a billion dollars and turn into a woman.
  
  Nuh uh 1% times 100 is 100% idiot
  /s obviously
  
  How many times do I have to press it to get a 90% chance of having a billion dollars? What about a 90% chance of both?
  Asking for a me who took statistics too long ago and is too sick to sit down and work it out.

US$ ?... or like, LD$ ?
Wait can you press it multiple times? Because, like... money button go brrr...
What happens if you're already XX? you get XXX?
- [Joking] This community is on a canadian instance, so obviously CAD.

What's the down side?
- Paying taxes on that $10M
- Men exist.
  
  I man, therefore I am. But I get it.
  That there are men that think being a woman is inferior? There's the problem.

Is there a limit of how many times can I push the button?
Once I turn into a woman can I still push the button?
Do you carry your physical measures? I have large feet and is difficult to find men shoes of my size, women shoes of my size would be almost impossible.
- On 2. I suppose you might just get more feminine

I will press it 100 times
- Only a 63% chance if you do it 100 times, do it a few thousand to be safe (and richer).
  
  yeah, but if I get in the billionaire territory, I'll have to kill myself
  
  Why is that?

You don't need the 1% chance, if you say you are a woman then you are.
- Well yes, but then I would get to be a biological woman, which would be better
  
  I don't agree there is such a thing as a 'biological woman', but I do understand wanting certain body features yeah.

Low odds but I'll do it anyway
- 10000000$ isn't that bad either 🤷

Can a statistics guy tell me how rich I'm likely to be once my body is nice?

We'd all get blisters on out thumbs...

Just keep pressing it till it works I don't see the problem

I press the button and if you dont become a girl, i try to make the anti-trans conspiracy theories true

click click click click click

always been curious what these buttons do for trans men. do they make me uncomfortable in my body if i've transitioned? do they make me comfortable in my body if i haven't? 🤔
