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
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.
Nah, something like 1% of people who transition regret it. Which is stunningly low considering the enormity of the change. 1% of people are going to regret any major life decision.
Yeah I don’t know what the point of denying facts is other than to try to out-propaganda the other side.
It’s very rare. Not imaginary, but not common either.
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)
Insufficient information. Is the random guy trans, or a minority, or a woman? Or a CIS white male?
He’s a bad.
In this metaphor, the random person is someone who might transition and later regret it.
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.
It’s changing the problem from definite harm and potential upside to definite upside and potential harm.
It makes sense people value potential harm different from potential upside.
I’m sorry, I don’t quite understand. What is the potential harm in the comic?
The potential harm in the comic is lack of buff dudes, the potential upside in the classic is more good people being alive.
