the trickiest part is the whole “men who have sex with men” thing (bc they mean AMAB), to which i say just use your own judgement. they aren’t going to ask for proof that your answers are true

and you only have to answer those questions the first time. if you aren’t on HRT then there would be no difference to donating than for a cis person. also, the nurses were v friendly and had clearly been given training (i could see that the screen they use to ask the questions had info on for them)

If you're a new donor, it's quick and easy to sign up here: www.blood.co.uk

You can also use that link to look for a donor session near you, if you're already registered and just haven't been for a while.

as this has reached further than my posts usually do, i’m sharing this fundraiser to help friend of a friend Maher and his family evacuate from Gaza, including orphaned baby Elias who he is caring for: chuffed.org/project/1542...
