Sorry, didn’t mean to be unclear! The question is in fact posited to every applicant regardless of sex/gender/orientation, our entire questionnaire is universal. Anal sex is brought up with anybody that’s had a recent new partner(again regardless of any of those metrics) just because of the enhanced risk due to delicate tissues etc. involved.
Like you say, at least it’s progress!


Nope! I grew up overseas and they finally eased those restrictions a couple of years ago.
I can’t vouch for the Red Cross specifically, but the blood bank I work for has no issues with it anymore.


Phlebotomist here! Our organisation does ask these questions, but it works more like a flow chart; essentially what we’re trying to rule out is if you’ve had anal sex with a new partner in the last 3 months, just because of the inherent risks there.
Condom use, while ideal on a personal level, is kind of a moot point where donating is concerned just because there’s no way for us to know that it was worn correctly, that nothing went away with it, etc.

Taking my mom to her treatment centre here in an hour or so; I hope yours is even half as kind and caring as hers has been.
Fuck cancer. Kick its ass!!


I’ve been loving it every time it happens.


Just got rid of my fancy younger washer after spending $240 on repairs for the second time only to have it fail again.
Went and pulled my ancient Whirlpool direct drive out of storage, spent $15 on the replacement clutch and coupler it needed and threw them in there.
Thing turns 30 years old this year and it’s going like a champ.


30K and you didn’t learn conjugation?
I also have a stupid punk kid whiskey scar, also from arbitrary party knifeplay! For a moment I wondered if you were at the same one I was at. I woke up the next morning in a pile of what had been clean laundry, wearing stolen sunglasses and curled up with a handle of whiskey with a crazy straw in it, aaaaabsolutely needing stitches.
The scar always gets attention, if nothing else!


Teeth, or rather where they meet your skull and jaw, are technically classified as a kind of joint!
