I don't think I'm trans, I've entertained the thought, but I'm not at all unhappy with being male. At the same time, I don't think I would be unhappy with being female either. Being a huge nerd, I'm not particularly masculine to begin with, so it doesn't seem like it would be a huge change.
I'm happy with who I am, so short answer is 'No'.

Perhaps I am just selfish, but to me life is very fragile and ethereal

From my perspective you will die one way or another, for all I know today - 10 minutes from now

All we really have is our own will and determination. And once we die everything we cared about is meaningless and over

So we choose what we value. For me my first value is following my own directive and not compromising in who I am and what I want. So it would almost be like dying before I died to give up my will and do something like that - I would rather continue my current life. For me infinite money (as you put it) is not worth that breaking of my will
If you asked me twenty years ago, maybe (probably) I would have answered differently. I had certain ideas about the future, and plans that sort of depended on me having a ween :tpi:

But right here, right now, having fulfilled most of the ween-related ones, very very few of my plans for the future hang on my dong ( :tpi: ) and none of those that do are particularly important or meaningful. My life would continue a lot like it was.

And after quite a bit of introspection, my biological sex is very very low on my list of priorities, and a very small part of my sense of self. "Male" is not high on the list of "who I am." None of my hobbies or interests, or personality, are inherently male. And my hopes and intentions and beliefs and plans are not "stay male at all cost." I wouldn't be betraying any of my values. You're not asking me to grind orphans into paste or commit a genocide or two.

And on the other hand...

The other aspect you have to consider is that you would develop gender dysphoria most likely (at least I would suspect that?)

And then look at the suicide rates among trans people without proper care - and you have to wonder would you possibly become suicidal and depressed?

I’ve already transitioned for money (female to femboy)
People really seem to be into former females now turned trap. It’s like Schrödinger's bisexuality

I considered this, and came to the conclusion that with 100 BILLION dollars I could have a few (dozen) psychiatrists and psychologists on retainer to smooth things out. Which also segues into your second point about proper care.

But the treatment for gender dysphoria is transition so

Isn't it doomed to fail?

Well don't look to me for an answer. I just get gussied up once in awhile to appease my girly side. 💃 :)

But I can't stand this emote of a woman dancing in a red dress. I'd prefer a dark green dress instead. :creep:

Obviously you guys ruin the spirit of the question to discuss "loop holes"

Yes I could spend 5 minutes writing in legalese so there could be no legitimate loop holes, but it's more fun to keep it simple and accept the proposition

If you don't have a preferred gender (you are nonbinary etc) then the question probably can't apply to you
Actually, they're probably doing a better job giving you the answer you're looking for. If you think about it, the fact that those responses talk about loop holes and such, suggests why they might/would. For us, perhaps we see it as "missing the forest for the trees," where for myself, I know how easily the forest can ingest one of its own.

I read the title as "Translation (or detranslation) for money" and it got me confused why was someone begging for money on GBATemp. lol

But no, no!
I love the idea to ask for money to detranslate something

*Let's put mother 3 back into Japanese, please donate $100*

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
    +1
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Again you get what you pay for, its like buying a S series for $300 but its only 1440p native, if you want true 4k, gotta get the X model for $500. But yea you right, when moms buying it anyways, you gotta stay cheap.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They could use HD out on their TV no real need for a monitor these days tbh the purists will disagree
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I'm kind of phasing out on the need for wanting all these consoles cool to have but they just become dust build ups
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I here ya there, I have too many myself, and have hard time letting them go, since most of mine I've modded at some point. Anymore I just play Switch on the go, seriesx at home.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    ack my throat
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I need to invest in some storage totes tbh
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tots?
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Tootles? Wtf
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Oh tootles
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Oh totes , lol, like Tupperware storage, I gotcha
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I'm designing my own entertainment cabinet for my man cave, to store all my systems, then I'm also designing a power supply/HDMI switcher so I can switch to whichever system I want, and power it also. Already picked up the cabinet board, but tinkering with my drawings before start
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But yea, I have frogger arcade cabinet that I gutted and put a Pi4 then Pi5 into, but it never gets played much anymore, should sell it. Even when the kids come over, they don't want to play on it, just the xbox. TMNT and Simpson's arcade is still so fun on it, esp w 2 players.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Gonna check out the new Garfield looks like garbage
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Can't wait to see the new "stick" that can actually play Ps3 or 360 games. I know they are getting close.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @Xdqwerty didn't you see the new garfield?

    Ah it's all animated I was hoping for some live action
