    Where did you try to donate that banned you? At least on the American Red Cross site it seems transgender and nonbinary individuals are not banned from donating on the basis of their non-cisgender identity, but I know not everyone is American and perhaps some donor centers even in America might be more bigoted about things. I am sorry you experienced this.

      Oh hey! I’m unbanned now. They finally updated the law on banning “gay men” back in 2023. Sense I was assigned male at birth and I did things with others who was assigned male at birth I wasn’t able to donate. That’s awesome, if I have time I think I might go try doing it. But… the state of this country in America, I’ll hold off for about 4 years though.

        Your body, your choice. But I’m not really sure how the administration being awful means you don’t want to donate, unless you are worried of grievous bodily harm being done to you and then you would want all your blood.
