It’s for a few reasons.
1. because opposite sex blood can harm. Blood from women who have ever been pregnant can contain various antibodies that can cause harm.
2. HIV rates WAY higher in trans women especially,
3. Sexual behaviour questionnaires are meaningless unless correct sex is recorded. A man who has sex with men is automatically in a higher risk category and should in theory wait longer before donating or not donate at all in some places. If that person says they’re a woman then they put them in a lower risk category.
I and a couple of others sperged on about this a while ago. I think it was this thread, let me see if I can find it to link...
Edited to add: the McKinnon thread.
Here and the couple of pages following. There are valid reasons for needing the sex of a person for many medical procedures. When it comes to blood, you need the sex right and you need to be able to accurately put someone in a risk category. The data and risk assessments don’t lie.
Oh I know thats why the gender fuckshit shouldnt ever be validated in the medical field, or anywhere really, biological sex is important. What I saw on the blood donation site was this "will be deferred from donating blood for three months after their surgery. After three months, donors will be screened in their affirmed gender." https://www.blood.ca/en/blood/am-i-eligible/trans-individuals
Meaning trannies who got the "affirming" surgery will be screened as the other sex. Which to me would come up against everything you listed. A tranny that got the penis invert would be more at risk of HIV than an actual woman, and whose to say that a woman who has a franken-dong hasn't been pregnant before and so will be screened as male. Its not like trannies are a trustworthy population, with truth being literal violence and all.
