    Sure, but getting rid of dysphoria is a pretty compelling upside that a cis man wouldn’t have. In fact, they might acquire it. The regret rate for -dysphoria +periods is low, but the regret rate for +dysphoria +periods would almost certainly be higher.

    Of course, that’s assuming that the button makes you female, which is not what the OP says. If a cis man pressed it, the most straightforward interpretation is that they’d turn into a trans girl, so they’d de-age and get dysphoria.

    That said, and while I get that you’re probably sick and tired of dealing with transphobes, their comment didn’t actually mention trans people at all. I think you might have been a little trigger-happy there. As you said, trans women are not men, and their comment was talking about men, so it wasn’t talking about trans women.

      Huh.

      Wait.

      …

      You’re not wrong.

      Shit, just a moment, I should edit my comment, thanks.
