      Heh it’s a fun “gotcha” kind of modification. Alas, it misunderstands the thought experiment. They’re not changing the emotional valence. They are removing a fundamental aspect of a dilemma: harm. One of the purposes of the trolley problem is to provoke the thinker into questioning what they believe about moral responsibility and (in)action.

    The guy who might wander onto tracks doesn’t even exist in reality. He’s a hypothetical in the mind of the guy with his hands on the lever.

    Doesn’t really work since having to detransition or whatever isn’t as comparable to being unable to transition at all but yeah I get it just eradicate transphobia

    It’s almost as if proper access to healthcare and allowing each person to make their own medical decisions with a qualified provider prevents all of this issue. Detransition is also none of the fucking government’s business! (ᐛ)
