“”A drag queen for every school” is a sentence that, until today, has probably never been uttered before in the English language. Why is an elected official saying it in public? As for “drag queens make everything better,” one can just about imagine circumstances in which a person might say such a thing aloud. But the attorney general of Michigan?”

They are starting to eat themselves....
Eunuchs “generally desire to have their testicles surgically removed or rendered non-functional”, and should be offered “surgical intervention” if there is a risk that withholding treatment could lead to them attempting to carry out a medical procedure themselves, according to the paper. In a footnote, the authors acknowledge “there may be female-assigned eunuchs but at this date there is insufficient documented evidence to include them in this chapter”..

Nah, just a common-or-garden moron I'd say. Totally on the side of the blood transfusion staff on this one, this guy was just being a dick to get some attention. A medical form asking if you're pregnant is about as inoffensive as you can get, but this numpty decideds to pretend he's shocked by the question, refuses to fill it in and probably makes a bloody scene about it. And then he calls a reporter so he can have a whinge about how outraged he is about the whole thing. I'm sure the nurses taking blood have better things to do than deal with this kind of idiot. Fuck off Leslie, and no you can't have a cup of tea and a biscuit before you go.

'As a public body we take cognisance of changes in society around how such questions may be asked without discrimination and have a duty to promote inclusiveness – therefore all donors are now asked the same questions.’
That's a genuinely stupid justification for insisting a man in his 60s answers if he's pregnant. What's next, 12 year old boys if they're going through menopause?
-
@gibbon-rib maybe just an older fella whose had a gutful of the world changing for the stupider whose line was crossed?
It’s one thing to refuse to answer it. But its another for the medical team to refuse the blood, a cause which helps everybody, because he refused to answer.
That’s where my disdain sits. When did this shit over rule common sense?

You've hit the nail on the head. By "promoting "inclusiveness" and "asking questions without discrimination" they are actually doing the opposite and creating division and genuinely offending people.
Use some common sense and treat people with respect, FFS. It isn't hard.

Nobody asked him if he was pregnant though, they just gave him a form and he refused to fill it out. Fuck knows why, he's given blood 125 times before, and I bet he's answered the same question dozens of time, but for some reason he decided to be outraged about it this time and cause a scene. Maybe it's recently become a sore point because he's realised he's passed child bearing age.

As an aside, what do you put down as you're ethnicity on public forms?
(I tick the right box if it's medical, but otherwise it's "Other" and Pacific islander)

Perhaps you should've read the article. It's quite clear he was required to answer the question.

A 5ml donation of common sense would have avoided this whole absurd story.
It's a blood donation form. Fill in the form, then donate blood. The only person not showing common sense is some old duffer who refused to fill in the form, because he wanted to make a ridiculous point. Sure, some of the questions on the form aren't applicable to you. Answer it anyway, we've all had medical forms asking the same thing and it's not a big deal.
The staff don't have time for discussions with outrage junkie who wants to find a reason to be offended. What if everyone said "I'm not filling that in, you can tell from looking at me if I'm male / female" / "do I look under 18 to you?" . Fill in the form, or don't and fuck off, simple.
And then, to cap it all, he goes and calls a reporter and share this faux-outrage madness with the world.
Common sense is truly in short supply.
