It’s a necklace on a wooden table. A plain black strap supports a golden Star Trek insignia with 3 colored bars on the side in white, pink and blue, the colors of the transgender pride flag. 🏳️‍⚧️

She starts out pretty hairy and masculine and ends up slightly less hairy and less masculine-looking. Really, most of the changes are on the inside.

She’s wearing large pink-framed glasses, hoop earrings, and has long purple hair all combed over to one side, with flecks of silver glittery fairy hair in it. The sides of her head are shaved.

You are given a magical button that will permanently swap your gender, giving you an “opposite-gendered” body that is equivalent to your own in age, fitness, and attractiveness. If you press the button, everybody in your life will have always known you as a girl. They will accept you immediately. You will not lose your partner, your job, or your family. Do you press it?

Cis people would not even consider pressing this button, by the way. If you know deep down that you’d press it but are still afraid to self-accept as trans, then your sticking point probably has more to do with your fear of transitioning than it does with your true identity.
