As someone who is cis, and a big supporter of all humans.... I'd try the other gender for a day, just to have that experience.
I think an interesting extra layer to the question would be "with a chance that the button would no longer work after use" which I think would be useful context. It would help better understand where you might exist along a gender spectrum, or how comfortable you are with the idea of transition in general, or how much you resonate with the ideation of being the other gender.
Well, I'm not a man's man, and I don't put much weight into any part of my physicality for my identity. As a matter of principle, I refuse to see myself or others as the sum total of their biology, gender, sex, or race. I've worked very hard to see all people as humans, and on an even playing field regardless of all other factors. IMO, that's how everyone should be viewed, and how everyone should view everyone else.
That being said, something every trans person will know is that: not everyone sees it like that. Socially, there's a lot of people who will struggle to see you as who you are/want to be, rather than who you were. So I think that would be my biggest struggle. I try not to worry too much about things I can't change.
If there's a chance I wouldn't be able to go back, then I'd have to give it a long think before deciding to go through with it, and I'd need buy in from my wife. I think she'd be fine with whatever I choose, but I also don't want to surprise her with it.
That concept certainly would give me pause regardless.
