Oh something fun for those of you from the west: homosexuality and stuff are considered to be western influences and there are even nicknames/slurs for people who are considered more westernized than average. Internet discourse in these parts are fun.
So if we arent open to understanding something as important to being human as gender, why not toss out all other fields that also study human social lives. Bye to anthropology, sociology, etc.
E.g this wired article on 4chan's moderation mentions how a user who attributed the Buffalo shooter's radicalization to the site got banned for "complaining about 4chan."
No idea what the comments are on about. 4chan is where "kike" and "removed" are used as prepositions. Home of /pol/, etc. You have to be clueless or want to mislead if youre implying greentexts represent 4chan.
Violating someone's bodily autonomy causes harm but I don't think consent itself exists in utilitarianism. "Dont do stuff to people that they dont consent to" is a rule. I think it's clear that the mental anguish of having your extra kidney taken would be less than all the pain avoided by the child not going through a slow and painful death, and all the happiness they gain in the chance to a life they can now live.
I don't think that solves things because I can just come up with a scenario where all these issues don't exist, it's clear what's actually missing is rules like consent.
So, an example without these issues: someone is kidnapped (drugged, it was painless) and a surgeon without consent removes their kidney, to be used to help a dirt-poor dying child. No threat of infection, no hypothetical of it being sold to an exploitative rich person, etc. but we still have the problem the meme points.

Back where I'm from the elders used to call this kind of thing "bait for social media interaction"
