    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.
