unfortunately "become" implies i (and everyone else) will be aware of the change and that it won't retroactively change history, which would just give me dysmorphia and make those around me incredibly surprised.
Have always been a girl just got issued some weird equipment.
You mean like a spork or one of those special tongs?
Do the tongs tong tho? Have you checked?
Oh it’s special
The pillar and stones are not actually load bearing. The space can be renovated :)
If its reversible, yes.
If not? Also yes, if blahaj is included.
i know that the trans community around here overwhelmingly leans transfem, and that's chill, but these hypotheticals always entertain me, as a transmasc
like, does this button do nothing to me? does it undo my surgeries and hormones? does it give me gender dysphoria about my surgeries and hormones? it's funny to wonder about
however, i would not press the button to find out :)
Plus, it's only implied but it seems that not pressing the button has a nonzero chance of a million. I'd like a million
It also specifically says "girl" and not "AFAB," so it might just change a trans woman into a trans girl with most of the same problems. I guess it might be helpful for someone who lives in a place that has recently become better about trans healthcare, since they'd effectively start earlier.
Trans boys would benefit the most. No change in age and your dysphoria disappears. Even better for those who haven't come out, because that would be an extra awkward conversation to have the second time (except now instead of trying to stop you, they're trying to give you a podcast).
i think positing a dramatic change to one's mind such that their gender is changed to being cis with their AGAB as positive is uh... perhaps, lacking in trans perspectives. for many of us, that's a full on horror situation, something like, if conversion therapy existed, but it worked
of course, there have been trans people who would opt in to this sort of change, and this statement is not meant to invalidate them
but i still think it's worth pointing out, since, at least to me, it comes across as a little insensitive (due to the implication that being trans is a universal negative, that being cis is always preferable to, even in the instance where it would change a fundamental characteristic of a person, such as their gender)
that reason is the reason why my parent comment ends with "i would not push the button to find out" lmfao
.
(as an aside, i don't think the hypothetical is about age, at all)
Yeah, my main issue with conversion therapy is that it doesn't work, I would LOVE if it did...
Might as well right?
(Still cis tho :3 )
When you get to the point where you're saying "still cis tho," you're usually already cooked
Damn
Anyone using :3 is automatically mtf anyway
My poor ftm bro T^T
I don't think I could handle the pay cut in this economy.
That hurts the most when you think about it.
I'll push it ˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
And then nothing happens, because "you're already a girl", and the button said nothing about bodies 🫠
Here's some real horror. Let's create a real trans version of Button, Button.
One day a man shows up at your door and hands you a wooden box with a button inside. He tells you, that if you press the button, it will instantly change your sex. But in turn, when you press it, it gives, "a total stranger whom you will never meet gender dysphoria as strong as you have ever experienced." The stranger than leaves to let you mull over your options.
If you fall to temptation and press the button, the strange button indeed changes your sex, instantly and totally. You literally end up with the same body you would have had if you had been born the opposite sex. And you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you just gave gender dysphoria to someone. You have cured your curse by giving it to another.
The next day, the person you got the box from shows up to collect the box and says, "it will be sent in for reset. After that, it will be sent to a total stranger whom you will never meet."
Ultimately, you end up with a fully transformed body...and gender dysphoria in the opposite direction.
I'm agender and not dysphoric, so I might press the button just to see what it was like. And then of course get screwed, because this is some genie shit and I should have known better.
I don't trust genies. If I ever meet one, my wishes will be:
"For my first wish, locate a black hole at least one hundred billion light years from Earth. Find a particle like a stray proton that is about to fall into that black hole. Make it fall in a nanosecond faster than it otherwise would."
"For the second and third wishes, just do that two more times."
If genue lore is anything to go on, simply not wishing for anything is a bad move. Otherwise, the genie might just magically pop up one day to grant your wish when you accidentally say "I wish...." at an inopportune moment. Best to exhaust the wishes on the most inconsequential and trivial thing I can imagine. Find a black hole that's literally outside our light cone. Find a particle that was already about to fall behind an event horizon and be unable to have any affect on the outside universe. Simply give it a little push and make it fall in a trivial bit faster. It's a wish that's both utterly trivial but also incredibly specific, thus minimizing the ability of the genie to twist it.
Also, meta-gaming a bit, this type of wish protects you from certain kinds of genies. If you're dealing with one of the truly evil ones, like from the Wishmaster series, they're still going to do everything they can to fuck you over. But some genies just like to punish mortals more for the hubris of it, a human daring to meddle with forces beyond their understanding, usually for their own greed. But make a wish like this? The genie will instantly get what you're trying to do and hopefully be less likely to actively seek to ruin your life in some horrifying way.
I wish the brown note was real
I wish I had an instrument that played the brown note
I wish I was immune to the brown note
As a genderfluid person, I very likely will experience some dysphoria no matter what :/
I have never felt any dysphoria so I would press it a couple times to compare probably. Si ce it gives someone else my previous dysphoria I feel utterly safe pressing it and not influencing anybody else.
Yeah. If anything you're maybe gonna help someone in a less accommodating part of the world feel less shitty by replacing their dysphoria with your own.
Is the button nailed down? I could make way more than a million by charging ten euros for each use of the button.
this is simultaneously a capitalist's wet dream but also a mortifying nightmare for 99% of those who actually believe in capitalism.
Me! Me! Me! Let me push it! (Presses the button repeatedly like a fidget toy)
How does it work on repeated button presses? Does it flip you back and forth between male and female, or does it just keep driving you further and further into the the female side of sexual dimorphism and female gender stereotypes? If you press it a dozen times, does it turn you into a 4'8" woman with a large chest, narrow waist, huge hips, and whose only desire in life is to become a tradwife?
I don't think it would do anything for me... but if it changed my body to be more feminine then that'd be cool, I'd press it
maybe if i just press the button a tiny amount it'll turn me into legolas?
Boop!
Sure why not
You can be a girl but only if you agree to wear thigh high socks at all times and sit on my lap like a cat
Okie 😬
I'm surprisingly ok with $1000001 also, if I press it four times, do I get 8 tits like a cat?
tldr yes
Push push push
Fuck no
