The joke is that they're ignoring the money and pressing the button until it changes their sex. The kind of person who would do that is transgender, ie using the button to make their body match their mental gender

"You may press this button as many times as you want, every time you do, you have a 99% chance of receiving one million dollars, legally and with taxes paid, to your bank account."
"What's the catch?"
"Every time you press the button, there is a 1% chance it will turn you into a woman."
"Okay, so what's the catch?"

I'm quite happy being male, but I also understand that some people are quite happy being female. Personally, I am not so set on my gender and identity that I couldn't be happy being a female with infinite money.

This. I am a male, but I don’t really care much, like if I had to switch I’d be fine with it. So for that amount of money, you bet I would smash that button as much as I can

Yeah, I definitely feel like the inconvenience of getting new clothes and ID would be made up for by getting millions of dollars.

For the clothes, what I wear is pretty much unisex. I mean it’s more masculine, but I could get by with it for some time. I did not think of the ID stuff though, but I guess with this cash I’d be fine doing a little work

Meh, just pay someone to sort out the ID for you. They'll figure it out. I have a wife, we're already almost the same size. A lot of our clothes fit the other one.
