Didn’t even know people are not allowed to give blood if they are gay


That’s been the thing for years. The HIV scare of the ‘80s prohibited us from donating blood. And they still hold that against us despite the fact that that claim has been debunked over and over again.

the wording on the paperwork is “Are you a man who has had sexual intercourse with a man after 1980” or “Are you a woman who has had sexual intercourse with a man who has had sexual intercourse with another man since 1980” (this was a blood drive at my college  where majority of the students werent Alive in 1980.) I donated all the time back when I was a virgin, because o- , but now I’m not allowed to. So a better question for this article is “Why won’t baby boomers let queer people donate blood, even though all the blood gets screened for HIV and aids anyway?” though, theres a lot of room for loopholes in the wording of it   


This fucking matters. Bias in medicine is bias that should not exist. Fucking fix it.


This is disgusting 

hey trans people can’t give blood either. was banned from a plasma place for having the nerve to show up and be trans. “we don’t serve you people”.

This is one of the reasons why it was painful for a LOT of Queer people after the Pulse shooting. We kept seeing messages calling for blood donations but so many of us can’t donate. We couldn’t even help our own community. 


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


as someone who has received money and/or drugs in exchange for sex, i have a lifetime ban on giving blood. FURTHERMORE, my whore blood is so filthy that if you’ve had sex with me in the past year, YOU can’t give blood!
and that’s a federal goddamn guideline, folks! 

If you lived in Europe for 3 months between 1980 and 1996 you can’t donate blood which basically takes out everyone who ever served in the military and was stationed overseas, anyone who studied abroad or anyone who had a job overseas during that period. The Red Cross is always announcing they have a shortage of blood donors but they create the shortage with the byzantine array of restrictions that they refuse to revisit. 

Okay, the above stuff is stigma and total crap, we have efficient screens for HIV and things now, the blood will be screened anyway, banning people for their sexual history is completely prejudice and its wasteful, and those rules really need to go.
But the last one, the ban on donation for people living in Europe, is actually done for a reason. Its an attempt to limit the spread of vCJD, which we don’t have a way of screening for right now.


Last i went you could donate blood if trans, I was openly trans at my blood clinic and they took me. So its probably just that particular clinic, which I say so that other trans people arent discouraged from trying to donate.
Also… as long as its the only question you lie on… if theres a blood shortage emergency I really dont see why not lie on that one question. Like its terrible to have to do that and im not trying to make you feel bad if you avoiding donating because of it, but since we know its not scientifically founded it seems perfectly moral to me to lie on that one question if you want to donate. There’s not really a way for them to fact check that.


I really never understood why people don’t just LIE
“Heartbroken they couldn’t-“ JUST LIE ON THE FORM

I’m an openly queer woman in Italy and I’ve never lied on my form, but also, my form doesn’t even ask the gender of my partner. All the questions are phrased “have you had any heterosexual or homosexual intercourse in the past six months?”, “have you changed partner in the past six months?” They are willingly phrased to work for all people because there’s literally no scientific reason as to why straight blood would be safer than gay blood.It’s just a formality. Honestly, you could write you just had an orgy and as long as you claim you’ve practiced safe sex they’ll give you the green card to donate. At most, they mark your sack for a more thorough venereal diseases screening in case you couldn’t affirm for sure that you’re 100% clean.The whole “but after the AIDS scare” discourse is bullcrap. They give AIDS informative flyers to all donors once a year and they screen for HIV all the sacks. Whenever you donate, you get the analysis results back and if you check, straight or gay, there’s always the results for the HIV test. Because medicine knows that straights and gays are all equally likely to be affected, it’s how it is.If you’re gay, you can donate. If you’re trans, the most that can happen is that your doctor allows you two yearly donations, roughly six months apart, if you are having your period; otherwise you’re allowed three yearly donations, roughly four months apart. That’s it.If the forms are like those provided in Italy, you won’t have even have to lie. If you live in some dumbass country that thinks you cannot donate if you’re queer, though, yeah, just fucking lie about it because there is no valid reason that says you cannot give blood.It’s an whole different matter if we’re talking about restrictions based on where you were at X date.These questions are common worldwide because they refer to viruses and infections that cannot be screened. This is not made because the Red Cross is mean and cruel and whatever the fuck; it’s because they cannot be sure your blood is not contaminated and since the blood is going to someone who, it stands to reason, is already compromised on their own, they cannot fight their own battle and add more. That’s why you cannot donate. My uncle died because he was fighting leukemia and was injected a transfusion of infected blood. DO NOT LIE ON THE FORM ABOUT ILLNESSES YOU HAD OR PLACES YOU’VE BEEN TO. YOUR WISH TO DONATE IS WORTH JACK SHIT IF YOU CONTAMINATE SOMEONE BECAUSE YOU WEREN’T HONEST.

 So what did you mean by your
 inexperience?
 Inexperienced in many ways. I haven't
 dated many people, and I'm not very
 confident when it comes to sex
 Tue, Sep 5, 1:42 AM
 If I may
 it's kind of like dancing, in
 that when you meet the right person
 that won't matter at all
 You could have sex 1000 times with
 the wrong guy and still feel under
 confident. But one time with the right
 man who sees you and treats you with
 respect and you'll feel like a queen
 Tue, Sep 5, 7:20 AM
 That's an empowering thoughts Are
 you suggesting that you're the "right
 man"?
 Tue, Sep 5, 9:25 AM
 I have no idea, maybe yes maybe no
 Chemistry is important, and sex is not
 the end goal for me. It's like wine
 Great sex is amazing and can be really
 intoxicating but it doesn't fill you up
 without a real connection to someone
 else.
 Im not trying t
 To find anything other than a real
 connection. Laughter, adventure
 experiences, amazing conversations
 So I'm very curious about this
 beautiful girl on tinder who says she's
 looking for a hook up. That's very
 uncommon. Is that all you're looking
 for or are you looking for something
 more?
 Tue, Sep 5, 10:38 AM
 I'm looking for something more,
 ideally. But I have needs just like
 anybody else, so if "something more"
 is a while coming, I'd go for something
 less with someone who seems
 trustworthy. It does feel a little weird
 to put that out there, like I'm pimping
 myself out.
 Tue, Sep 5, 12:29 PM
 All I know about pimping is that it ain't
 easy
 I totally understand though. It just
 caught me by surprise :)
 I'd love to meet for a drink or tea some
 time, would you be up for that?
 Tue, Sep 5, 4:38 PM
 Sure. When/where? I'm usually
 available after 6 pm

        Feminism, Money, and Work: Misogynist
 Misandrist
 Feminist
 Legit question, I'm not trying to hate on
 feminists or anything. Why is it called feminist
 if they're for equality?
 castiel-knight-of-hell:
 That's a very good question and thank you for
 asking so politely
 The word feminism was coined by Charles Fourier
 in 1837, a French philosopher who advocated for
 the emancipation of women because he believed
 society treated women as slaves. We weren't
 allowed to vote, own anything, or work a real job.
 Women were ruled by their fathers/household
 patriarch until they married at which time they'd be
 under the rule of their husband. If a woman did not
 belong to male household she was shunned by
 society and had very little means to make money
 most of them unsavory. You know the idiom "rule
 of thumb"? That comes from a running joke that
 started in the 1600s, and was still around in
 Fourier's time, that said it was okay for a man to
 beat a woman with a stick as long as it wasn't any
 thicker than his thumb.
 The point of the word feminist, and the feminist
 movement, has never been to say that women are
 better than men. The point is that women and
 things associated with women have been given a
 lesser place in society and we want to bring those
 things up to a place of equality. The focus is on the
 feminine because that's what's being pushed
 down. However, focusing on the feminine does not
 mean we're focusing only women. Men are belittled
 and called "less of a man" anytime they portray a
 trait that is associated with femininity. If women
 and the feminine were equal to men and
 masculinity then that wouldn't happen. Feminism
 is about raising up things associated with females
 to have an equal place in society as the things
 associated with males. It's called feminism, not
 equalism, because the focus is on raising up not
 tearing down. Equalism would suggest that male
 things need to come down to a lower level so that
 female things can meet it in the middle. That's not
 the point. The point is to raise up the feminine so
 that it's on the same playing field that the
 masculine is already on. We don't want men to
 lower themselves, we just want them to make

 Legit question, I'm not trying to hate on
 feminists or anything. Why is it called feminist
 if they're for equality?

 That's a very good question and thank you for
 asking so politely
 The word feminism was coined by Charles Fourier
 in 1837, a French philosopher who advocated for
 the emancipation of women because he believed
 society treated women as slaves. We weren't
 allowed to vote, own anything, or work a real job.
 Women were ruled by their fathers/household
 patriarch until they married at which time they'd be
 under the rule of their husband. If a woman did not
 belong to male household she was shunned by
 society and had very little means to make money
 most of them unsavory. You know the idiom "rule
 of thumb"? That comes from a running joke that
 started in the 1600s, and was still around in
 Fourier's time, that said it was okay for a man to
 beat a woman with a stick as long as it wasn't any
 thicker than his thumb.
 The point of the word feminist, and the feminist
 movement, has never been to say that women are
 better than men. The point is that women and
 things associated with women have been given a
 lesser place in society and we want to bring those
 things up to a place of equality. The focus is on the
 feminine because that's what's being pushed
 down. However, focusing on the feminine does not
 mean we're focusing only women. Men are belittled
 and called "less of a man" anytime they portray a
 trait that is associated with femininity. If women
 and the feminine were equal to men and
 masculinity then that wouldn't happen. Feminism
 is about raising up things associated with females
 to have an equal place in society as the things
 associated with males. It's called feminism, not
 equalism, because the focus is on raising up not
 tearing down. Equalism would suggest that male
 things need to come down to a lower level so that
 female things can meet it in the middle. That's not
 the point. The point is to raise up the feminine so
 that it's on the same playing field that the
 masculine is already on. We don't want men to
 lower themselves, we just want them to make
 room for us.
