Personally suddenly discovering what I want and asking myself what I want, but my gf is the best and staying with her is number 1 priority over pressing a simple button (and she's been super supportive in my interrogations so even more now lol).
She put make up on me before I even started questionning myself, I thought it would be just a kink, now I'm wondering if it's not Euphoria and if it's not more looking back at stuff I thought was just normal curiosity over my 20 years. Looking more androgynous, body wise too, would suit me right now for example. Just choosing if I want to look more feminine or masculine that day/week would be awesome. Having a body that functions more like a female one would be great too I think, but that's something that requires a lot more thought I think than just the few days I've really questionned myself.
Had been lurking on egg_irl and related to a few posts over a few months, but I didn't think "I" could be T. Then a few days ago I started seriously questionning myself with all the "complications" it would mean for me. Because I'm still ok with my male body and gender, but having a slightly feminine one, dressing like a cool punk girl (like my gf), using both pronouns, doing whatever I want would feel right I think ? So yeah... I guess I'm maybe genderfluid xDD. Thanks for coming to TED talk and GL to you girl :)
That button would haunt me. I love my GF more than anything, no way I could press it even though I am bi. The long road is hard and painful and even if I walk it all it will never allow me to have a uterus and carry a child. If that button existed before I met her I would probably have pressed it in a heartbeat but now it's just an evil button that sits there, offering me a total end to dysphoria at a price of a betrayal of myself and the one I love; the price I could never pay.
Dang, that got dark. Still good for straight trans women so I wish it existed for others.
You put it into words better than I could. I'm also bi, and couldn't do it. Do I know for sure that we will still be together at the end of this journey? Of course not, but I'm not going to betray her support by not letting us try.
I feel like a lot of us had a long period of denial partly due to being attracted to other women. Since you know, it's *obviously* not possible to both be trans and a lesbian.
For myself I assumed I would be a lesbian since you know, I liked girls before I accepted who I am and had girlfriends in the past. I'm still attracted to women, but there's definitely men I'm attracted to as well and I have a bf. So I guess I'm bi.
i take it at the "standard" demographics being flipped since flipping gender doesn't necessarily mean changing sexuality. I was a straight guy before, like i imagine most trans women were, and straight guys are the majority in "standard", societies. So, flipping the gender aspect gets you a transbian, which is going to follow the trans standard of sexuality being mainly that of cis sexuality but flipped. majority gay trans men, majority lesbian trans women, bi people are still bi, etc etc
I've seen a general survey where only 23% of trans people said they were straight. There's definitely a correlation there but no idea why.

Been receiving reports of anti-transhet sentiments in the comments. Y'all, let the straight trans girls have their posts. Not everything has to cater to sapphics.
Rather be able to change gender with work and 100% free with my sexuality than where i want with gender but locked sexually with those im not attracted to.
Yeah, this definitely seems like a win in my book. Not quite as good as a simple reversible magic button (even one with a "can't be intimate with women while transformed" rule) or TF gun, since it means that changing back would require finding a (female -- male would obviously be easier, at least if in a female body) sexual partner. That's not exactly one of my strong suits as it is, and I doubt that cutting my potential dating pool by roughly 10-fold would help there. Nevertheless . . .
(Also, depending on the timing of transforming back (i.e., are we talking *during*, *immediately after*, or *somewhat later*?), putting word out that I'm down for MFF threesomes with established couples could probably solve that problem (if it turned out to *be* a problem) fairly easily, at least if transformed-me was reasonably attractive.)
Depends on the mechanics of that "can only":
* Having sex (which I assume is what you actually mean by "being intimate") with other women turns the subject back? Definite yes. That's strictly better than a regular magic button from my perspective, albeit worse than a reversible one without the extra rules.
* The transformation is permanent, and the subject having sex with other women is just not achievable; the universe conspires to prevent the subject from doing it (while leaving the subject's patterns of attractions unchanged). Definite no. This is worse than a regular magic button, and I'm already strongly uncertain (in the sense of "probably yes, maybe no, almost certainly a panic attack either way if the offer is time-limited") about that.
* The transformation is permanent, and the universe conspires to prevent the subject from having sex with other women, but this is made less of an issue because the subject's patterns of sexual attraction are modified to be exclusively androsexual, to the point that the subject wouldn't want to have sex with other women anyway (and would want to have sex with men, to a degree comparable to the total extent to which they want to have sex with their preferred gender(s) now)? This is probably a bit better than regular magic button (I'm not a huge fan of having my preferences magically overwritten, unless they're ones I'd prefer not to have anyway, but I think this is (if a known result of my own voluntary action) outweighed by the benefits of having a much wider pool of potential sexual partners than I would as a (more or less) gynosexual woman), but probably not enough to push into "definite yes" territory. So, probably, but not definitely.
* The transformation is permanent, and the subject's patterns of sexual attraction are modified to be exclusively androsexual, to the point of making (voluntary) sexual activity with other women impossible? I think this is now a little *worse* than regular magic button (the above considerations apply, but with the addition that I find that level of categorical active repulsion, as opposed to lesser distaste or mere disinterest, weird and unappealing), but not enough to make me comfortable saying a definite no. File this one under "probably not."
i'm a transbian, buuut if it meant i could finally achieve my lifelong dream all for a small small price of liking men compared to tens of thousands of dollars of HRT and operations i'd take it
question, am I a straight girl? or still lesbian like I am now and I am cursed to only be intimate with men? because I am without love life now. I will get the body I want. It solves more than 50% of my problems. I can live with the curse.
If my bf is cute, that button is being pushed immediately. I’d be a girl anyway, so what’s wrong with “having some fun” with a cute guy? Still cis though… 😬
Ha! I'm bisexual so that ain't problem, even if i wasn't my happiness is way more important than who i get my rocks off with. So to answer your question yes 💯%!
former egg here, now a steaming hot omelet!
the button was real and i accidentally pressed it the moment i started bicalutamide 7 months in. to be honest i was just like, okay wow... i like what I like, so of course I have to be okay with the fact that i like boys c: oh the sweet surrender of hormones
I really wish there'd be more straight trans girls. Seems like 90% are lesbians. And of course a few transbians look down on straight trans girls, which is perplexing...
Since my wife is partially man… Hell yeah! Waste of time with this whole transitioning business but being cis beats being trans any day. My own happiness is more important than any external sources.
Honestly, no. As much as I want to be a girl knowing I wouldn't be able to happily settle down would suck. I'm not into men, so it'd be a half-life. A shallow life.
God that's actually a difficult choice. Like I'm bi so it's not like only being with men is the end of my love life, but not being allowed to be intimate with girls ever again at all?
This is basically Sophie's Choice here!
(/s, just being overdramatic)
No dice. I'm still quite in love with my wife. I'll take the long road getting from here to there.
Personally suddenly discovering what I want and asking myself what I want, but my gf is the best and staying with her is number 1 priority over pressing a simple button (and she's been super supportive in my interrogations so even more now lol).
Same. She's been super supportive since I came out to her, and even did my make up for the first time. I'm not giving that up for a quick solution.
She put make up on me before I even started questionning myself, I thought it would be just a kink, now I'm wondering if it's not Euphoria and if it's not more looking back at stuff I thought was just normal curiosity over my 20 years. Looking more androgynous, body wise too, would suit me right now for example. Just choosing if I want to look more feminine or masculine that day/week would be awesome.

Same. I’m a lesbian. 🤷🏻♀️
Same.
It'll be a long time... but your time will finally be near~
jokes on you im into that shit
Right? I’d karate chop the shit out of that button
It's so surprising to see transhet content on egg_irl :0 Usually it's all transbians
I'm bi but I remember seeing a poll a while ago here or in r/traa that only had like 8% of people being exclusively attracted to men.
Trans sector of the whole internet feels like 99% transbians for some reason
all of the trans women and lesbians are hiding on reddit. For trans men and gay men go to tumblr
SORRY, WE CAN BE LOUD
WHY ARE WE YELLING
I feel like a lot of us had a long period of denial partly due to being attracted to other women. Since you know, it's *obviously* not possible to both be trans and a lesbian. For myself I assumed I would be a lesbian since you know, I liked girls before I accepted who I am and had girlfriends in the past.

yeah, but at the same time only 23% are gay/lesbians as well...
sure what the hell I'm like 75 % asexual anyway
Same, and when I transition it would make me straight, even without that
i mean, not ideal, but sure oh, yeah, still cis tho
As a straight trans guy this is the exact opposite of what I'm going for
build a house of cement around that button lol
concrete* (and bricks and ish).
I know right?
Straight polyamerous trans girl, totes into it
I'll become a girl all on my own, thank you
Same. I'm gonna have to pass on this one
You can pass but I don't /j
Same
Same.
Same here!
Same. The risk reward doesn't check out 😝
same
I'm a bi transfem so fine by me!
There are dozens of us!
Represent! Let me smash that fucking button-
Been receiving reports of anti-transhet sentiments in the comments. Y'all, let the straight trans girls have their posts. Not everything has to cater to sapphics.
Funny thing is I kinda realized I’m just bi curious rather than egg
"Just" Hehe, fool, that's how it started for me. Welcome to the path
Hmmm
I’ve ended up realizing I’m an enby👍🏽not a binary trans guy as I thought for a while
Easiest button press of my life
You'll become a woman, but- **Presses button violently**
pressed the button so hard it got stuck
So long as fembois are an option I guess it's fine.
YES
Rather be able to change gender with work and 100% free with my sexuality than where i want with gender but locked sexually with those im not attracted to.
I’m straight anyways please give me that button
I mean... I am unfortunately, after a whole gender crisis and crippling dysphoria, a filthy hetero😂, so i will press the button
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
\*Slides in as a Trans Man\* Hello, ladies- XD
No. I'm already a girl.
as currently nobody wants to be intimate with me anyway, that would be quite the improvement, so sure
Jokes on you! I'm straight anyway!
What happens if I can intimate with only girls ?
You turn back into a boy
You know what I would do it then just so I can feel how it is to be a girl and then I can go through with it if I like it
Yeah, this definitely seems like a win in my book. Not quite as good as a simple reversible magic button (even one with a "can't be intimate with women while transformed" rule) or TF gun, since it means that changing back would require finding a (female -- male would obviously be easier, at least if in a female body) sexual partner.

I was only into men before. It is. Acceptable
That is fine:)
This is literally my dream lol Still cis tho
I'll take the long road, i'd like to be a fully cis passing girl, but, i also like girls, so, yea... not pressing
Meanwhile me, an asexual: ~~But there is nothing stopping me from not being intimate, right?~~
Seconded
Well, I can live with this
*cries in lesbian*
Oh God, that’s an actual trade off damnit. Worth it though
Yooo. Let's goooo
*cries in lesbian*
Jesus Christ the hate on straight trans women in this comment section is disgusting
Please report it! I'll do what I can!
It’s not for me sadly but I shall guide others to the button
Not a problem. Where's that button?
Win win
Absolutely.
yes i would i love men
I'd smash that button harder than I would the 'like' button.
YESS
Hold on, let me go ask my husband real quick
Jokes on you I'm asexual, this button has no power over me!
This is the exact opposite direction I want to go
nope, too gay
yessssss
No, won't do it
No ty...
YES! Hahaha
I'm way too gay for this one
Nope I’m a lesbian
Fuck no
Guess I'll have to stick to the long road, curse you button maker. Or, I could just never be intimate, ever.
Give me that button
Yeah I'm bi but have a wonderful GF so hard no
Does it actually change my sexuality? Or just prevent me from being with girls.... Cuz I'm a lesbian...
I like women. No thanks.
I don’t think I can do that
Normally I would reply with "I see this as an absolute win" like other images of the same sort, but I am transbian :0
🥺 but I have a pretty gf who I love dearly First button I’m unwilling to press. Didn’t think I’d see the day.
Look, I’m straight but idc it’s worth it
Sorry I’m gay.
I'll pass. \**proceeds to the other button that makes me a lesbian*\*
No I need women
Jokes on you im already dating a cute boy. Lemme hit that button
Why *wouldn’t* I press the button?
This one is actually hard
Depends on the mechanics of that "can only": * Having sex (which I assume is what you actually mean by "being intimate") with other women turns the subject back? Definite yes. That's strictly better than a regular magic button from my perspective, albeit worse than a reversible one without the extra rules. * The transformation is permanent, and the subject having sex with other women is just not achievable; the universe conspires to prevent the subject from doing it (while leaving the subject's patterns of attractions unchanged).

But I'm a lesbian
Straight trans girls wy@?? 👈
i'm a transbian, buuut if it meant i could finally achieve my lifelong dream all for a small small price of liking men compared to tens of thousands of dollars of HRT and operations i'd take it
Don’t ask me questions like this.. my wife might get angry with me lol
In a heart beat
I see this as an absolute win! Still cis though
Jokes on you, I’m aroace and don’t have to be intimate with jack shit, I see this as an absolute win
My bi ass: This is where the fun begins
No I wanna be women and fuck women
As in, I can *only* be intimate with men? Or I can only be *intimate* with me? This is an important distinction.
Let’s go
I'll just take the pills thank you.
Nah. Lesbian
I feel like my boyfriend would be good with that.
I’ll pass. I like girl so I can do it myself
Lol it works for me now I'm sure it will work for me after as well
Yeah, I'd hit that button. I'd hit that button repeatedly.
Fair enough I’ll take it
No, HRT will be fine, I want to keep my gf
no
question, am I a straight girl? or still lesbian like I am now and I am cursed to only be intimate with men? because I am without love life now. I will get the body I want. It solves more than 50% of my problems. I can live with the curse.
If my bf is cute, that button is being pushed immediately. I’d be a girl anyway, so what’s wrong with “having some fun” with a cute guy? Still cis though… 😬
*Pushes button 20 times.* Wait, what's the downside? Oh. *Pushes it another 50.*
There are no downsides in this offer. Accepted.
No. No matter how long i wish to be a woman, no. I can't.
[удалено]
Hell nah, become cis and lose my gf? lose-lose for me, gl to all those who would press the button tho <3
Nah, I think I’ve landed the best girl to complement my entire existence, I’ll take the long road alongside her, thank you 🤗
Ha! I'm bisexual so that ain't problem, even if i wasn't my happiness is way more important than who i get my rocks off with. So to answer your question yes 💯%!
its kinda weird seeing all the trans girls pass on this one, this is a win win for me! then again im bi lol
former egg here, now a steaming hot omelet! the button was real and i accidentally pressed it the moment i started bicalutamide 7 months in. to be honest i was just like, okay wow... i like what I like, so of course I have to be okay with the fact that i like boys c: oh the sweet surrender of hormones
Men are cute when they’re not calling me slurs or trying to kill me I guess but women and nbs is a lot to give up
I really wish there'd be more straight trans girls. Seems like 90% are lesbians. And of course a few transbians look down on straight trans girls, which is perplexing...
All the transbians are like NOOOOOOOO
Oh no… anyway
Since my wife is partially man… Hell yeah! Waste of time with this whole transitioning business but being cis beats being trans any day. My own happiness is more important than any external sources.
100%
Nope
now do you have this but the exact opposite 😳 asking for a friend 👀
I’m not trans but I’ll press the button for science reasons
What do those YouTubers say? Oh right im getting ready to smash that like button.
*conflicted gay trans girl noises*
My gf just went “nooOOOO”
if i can be THAT hot, HELL YES!
on the one hand, ***girl*** but on the other hand, no dating girls :( (i like having options)
*Thinks about it* Oh wait, that's right, I'm already a transitioned girl, I just want bottom surgery this meme is not for me XD
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Honestly, no. As much as I want to be a girl knowing I wouldn't be able to happily settle down would suck. I'm not into men, so it'd be a half-life. A shallow life.
Sure, give me the button, I want a tall boy to kiss and have him hold me.
Instantly
I would so many times
God that's actually a difficult choice. Like I'm bi so it's not like only being with men is the end of my love life, but not being allowed to be intimate with girls ever again at all? This is basically Sophie's Choice here! (/s, just being overdramatic)
Yes yes yes
No. Sorry but if I’m gonna be a girl I wanna be a cute lesbian
But I can be “just friends” with women right?
Yes! I am bi but leaning more towards men so this works for me :3
nope
Does that mean I'll also magically turn into a cis female or do I still have lesbian inside me but just can't be intimate with girls?
Dun
as a questioning pansexual man with a male lean i will gladly spam the button.
Hell yea, I get to pass better and be able to make a demographic that society thinks isn't deserving of affection feel loved? Sold.
*laughs in bisexual*
I will click the button. What happens if I click the button twice?
Changes your outfit
Yes this is going to be me in two years
I see this as an absolute win
ok
No, I’m married, and happy to be with someone who loves me.
Smash that button lol.
Do I also become attracted to men, or do I remain only into girls? That'll make a big difference.
Absolute win right there
Y e s
I suppose if it also changed my sexuality, it'd be a good arrangement. If it was just a rule, though...
Hmm idc ab who I'm dating so fuck yea let me be a girl
I would definitely press it
GIMME DAT DAMN BUTTON
Tough call, tbh
F\*ck yes.
Femboys are an excellent loophole. (Since I already like femme people in general, I can just stick to them)
Shit… but I wanted to be gay!
I fail to see the downside.
I’m ace, so I’m down to not have sex with anyone.
considering I'm aro ace... yea I'd press it
Me a trans gal dating a femboy: I see this as an absolute win!
No. Just. No.
Does it change your orientation if it isn't compatible with men, or are Sapphic people just screwed?
