The “99% A, 1% B” meme is generally meant to mean that it’s either/or (i.e. no multiple button hits), so if you hit option B and didn’t already have gender dysphoria you just become dysphoric with no money and even worse healthcare…
Indeed, very confusing usage of memes. Same with POV.
The Obottom surgery, they call it
Came here to make an Obottoma Surgery joke. Glad it was already made
I assume the button 1% would turn you into opposite gender/sex/whatever, and you spam it till you hit twice the 1%?
congratulations.
how about
- 99% chance you get 1 dollar
- 1% chance you turn into 1 million girls
99% chance you turn into one million dollars
1% chance you become obama
I should be limited to one or less.
Being a hivemind with gender dysphoria would be very interesting to say the least
Plastic surgeon Obama be like „let them be queer“
Why is it assumed that you’d have dysphoria in such a scenario?
It doesn’t, this is based on one specific person’s (OOP) gender. It’s more about how having a bajillion dollars makes gender dysphoria into an incredibly easy problem to solve.
They might be saying: what if the button changes your external sex characteristics AND your internal relationship with gender
Which seems entirely not a problem
Yeah, “oh no I’m incredibly wealthy and have no other problems as a result except now I probably need new clothing which I can afford” kinda a no brainer.
Plus it would be at least interesting to have both (major) gender experiences as a cis person. Could answer a lot of subjective questions. Might even get famous about it if you can prove it through DNA or something.
TBH being a woman in today’s world seems like a pretty bad deal.
You know what, fair lol. Though its pretty fucking awful to trans women too.
TBF the meme doesn’t say how you’re “turned into a girl”. Depending on the specifics, people might treat you as a post-transition trans woman, regardless of whether you’re fine with becoming a woman or not.
I think the spirit of the question is “what if it was a trickster genie and you didn’t get what you thought and were unhappy?” Like, rather than the question as phrased, I imagine the intent was “what if the 1% chance was permanent gender dysphoria regardless of any practical steps taken to alleviate it?”
I wonder how many people would just go “eh, whatever” if this happened to them, especially considering all the disadvantages of being a woman in today’s world. Plus if their mind stays constant enough that becoming dysphoric is a possibility, they’d have to deal with suddenly being a different sexuality. All in all it seems pretty traumatic if it wasn’t something you wanted.
Thess 99%/1% questions usually have the 1% be something bad and the bad in this case would have to be dysphoria
You can change society in ways such that people understand transitioning to be a normal/casual thing now with that amount of money.
“You can keep your gender if you want it”
