Man denied giving blood after refusing to answer if he was pregnant

[jstern]

A Scottish man was turned away from a blood donation center because he refused to indicate whether he was pregnant, according to a report.

Leslie Sinclair, a 66-year-old father of two, had donated some 125 pints of blood over five decades before he was barred from his altruistic efforts during a trip Wednesday amid a push for new donors, Daily Mail reported.

Sinclair, of Stirling in central Scotland, was told to complete a form asking whether he was with child or had been pregnant in the last six months, prompting him to reply that the question did not apply to a man in his late 60s.

“I am angry because I have been giving blood since I was 18 and have regularly gone along,” Sinclair told the outlet Friday. “I’m very happy to do so without any problem.”

Sinclair told a staffer at the Albert Halls clinic in Stirling it was “impossible” for him to be pregnant, but soon learned that he needed to answer the query in order to give blood. He now has no plans on returning to the donation center.

The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service has also announced plans to recruit 16,000 new donors in the next year, but anyone who considers giving blood will be asked if they’re pregnant to “promote inclusiveness,” Daily Mail reported.

Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service officials said all donors are now asked whether they’re pregnant as part of a “duty to promote inclusiveness,” according to the report.

“We appreciate the support of each and every one of our donor community and thank Mr. Sinclair for his commitment over a long number of years,” SNBTS director Marc Turner told Daily Mail.

“Whilst pregnancy is only a relevant question to those whose biological sex or assigned sex at birth is female, sex assigned at birth is not always visually clear to staff,” Turner said.

Noting “changes in society,” Turner said the agency is now asking all potential donors the same questions during appointments, including whether they’re pregnant.

So in short, they understand that only people who were born female can give birth, and that makes a lot of sense. But now they have to ask with a straight face, everybody, even if it's a 95 year old man, if they are pregnant, or have been pregnant in the last 6 months, because a lot of loud mentally ill people are making a lot of noise.

And by mentally ill people, I'm not referring to the dudes who think they are female, but your average hardcore irrational, hardcore angry leftists. The type who think black people are too stupid to get an ID or make a copy at Kinkos, and so they want to champion for them.

I'm referring to people that look and act the way this person looks in this image.

[B.L.M.Activist]

Whats the problem?

[iamgine]

Just tick the box that says "no".

This is one thing that does not need to be fought over.

[coin24]

They ask the same to females of all ages.

It’s stupid obviously.. but when you have retards that believe men can get pregnant they will cater to the lowest common denominator..

[coin24]

How does everyone feel about them banning gay blood?

[tpols]

Just tick the box that says "no".

This is one thing that does not need to be fought over.

If somebody asks you a retarded question you have an obligation to not answer it.

It's a form. Not somebody.

[tpols]

It's a form. Not somebody.

And somebody made that form.

[Off the Court]

And somebody made that form.

Questionnaire forms have been asking people to declare their gender since they came into existence. And people in the US arguing over a random form at a random blood bank in Scotland is meme tribal stupid shit if I've ever seen it.

That NYPost link is simply click bait for people like jstern to flip out over.

[ArbitraryWater]

It's a form. Not somebody.

So what?


If the form says „m“ (male) then the question erases itself
