Didn’t even know people are not allowed to give blood if they are gay
Yup. In America and several other countries you can be banned for a year for having sex with a man, or having sex with a man who has sex with men. Others you can be banned for life.
As soon as you fill out your paperwork to give blood, it will ask you if you’ve ever been a man who has had intercourse with other men. As soon as the blood bank sees that, even before you get stuck, they will ban you. It’s ridiculous. A year or two ago, there was a bill that was brought up to lift the ban and it was not passed.
also MSM rules apply to transwomen in the USA bcuz theyre cissexist af
real, trans women need to stay a part of this narrative since by those outdated government standards we’re being treated as men (and this stupid ass outlaw is a leftover from the AIDS crisis, which also greatly affected trans women. something else to always keep in mind) but anyways it’s 100% because gay men and trans women are looked at like vectors of STI’s which just fits in snugly with society’s idea that LGBT ppl are sexual deviants and degenerates and they’d rather think that than let us contribute to the well-being of others.
ALSO it would look like this wouldn’t be a problem and you could just be spiteful and not give blood since they would treat you like shit, but following the Pulse shooting when a lot of victims would’ve needed blood transfusions, gay men and trans women were completely banned from donating to their friends and family affected. Victims would’ve had to rely entirely on extra-community support. It’s pretty obvious to see how the legislation would affect our ability to recover from tragedies like that.
stage two:what a refreshing morning, i feel a little tired but otherwise quite peachy. why am i not living life like this every day? why am i not taking advantage of every hour available to me and wasting precious amounts of it on meagre sleep?
stage three:feeling a bit nauseous now
stage four:i'm not really sure why i'm crying
stage five:who the fuck enjoys being awake? why has god forsaken me and cast me out into to this blighted land of the woken? when will i return to my slumber dungeon and-
The Super Repel is more cost-effective than the Max Repel. The Super Repel gives one step per P3.5 (P2.5 prior to Generation VII) while the Max Repel gives one step per P3.6 (P2.8 prior to Generation VII). However, when buying Max Repels in bulk from a Join Avenue market, they could be cheaper than the same amount of Super Repels at a Poké Mart.
discussions about the specific ways that female-assigned people are marginalized with respect to their reproductive anatomy is good and crucial to a biopolitical critique of patriarchy.
there’s also no need for it to imply or explicitly state that trans women and our genitals aren’t shamed, policed, pathologized, and legislatively regulated in similar ways. recognition of that is all we’re asking.
