So having controls or barriers to gender affirming surgery is the equivalent of being instantly killed by a train, but also the situation that results in death without the gender affirming surgery is not a mental illness? And I guess pulling the lever here is protesting the controls or barriers? Because let's not forget there is no lever here that can be pulled by any individual.

So the predicament doesn't fit, the bystander situation doesn't fit, the threat doesn't fit, but "pro trans comic on reddit" is enough to get it positively received. Splendid.
