The Obottom surgery, they call it

I assume the button 1% would turn you into opposite gender/sex/whatever, and you spam it till you hit twice the 1%?
how about
- 99% chance you get 1 dollar
- 1% chance you turn into 1 million girls
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.
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?"
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.
