ability to see depends on men giving blood' www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51047046 BBC But surely there’s an easy solution to the lack of male blood donors?

Isn’t there..?

People who don't know if they have iron rich blood are just lazy and possibly stupid.

Yes. Everyone knows if they have iron rich blood or not!

This drivel is on the NHS site:

Of course, donors of every gender are welcome and encouraged to give blood. However, during pregnancy, women often make new antibodies, which can make it harder to match their blood with a patient’s. Men’s blood may contain fewer antibodies against red and white blood cells, which means it can be used for creating better matched blood products to treat patients – such as platelets for cancer patients and allogeneic serum drops for people with dry eye conditions.'

Every gender

But

Then they link pregnancy to women which is clearly transphobic. And make generalisations about men's blood.

They don't mention non binary blood at all!

Makes complete sense. 'Women' and 'men' are not genders. They are making it clear that gender identity is not an issue and all are welcome to donate. Which is trans-inclusive and entirely as it should be.

The writers of that info haven't been captured. Yet.

D'ya think a strongly worded email from hundreds of us will get the message across that men can be pregnant too?

What days of the week is Pips Bunce available to help?

This is a good idea. I think we should start a work-to-rule on the subject of gender and sex. Get the message out there!

Why thank you

Am busy just now but will work on an email later. Will also post an email address soon as I find one.
