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?

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

[–] superb@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Why would the button change? Its explicitly a girl button

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Cause then it wouldn’t be interesting for girls

[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 5 months ago

For girls it's just free money

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago

Girls become girl² when they hit the button

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Kidplayer_666@lemm.ee 2 points 5 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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

[–] Clent@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

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.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I assumed the button was supposed to be single use.

[–] basidialtiger@beehaw.org 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 months ago

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