Some more non-settled science, courtesy of The Ottawa Hospital:
A large Canadian study has shown a link between blood donor characteristics and transfusion recipients' outcomes. This is the first study to suggest that red blood cell transfusions from young donors and from female donors may be associated with poorer survival in recipients.
Guess the old simple classification system of sorting all blood into a couple of types was too simple. Just because blood doesn't cause an instant life threatening reaction doesn't mean it is totally compatible.
And like any good science article, the conclusion is "more research is needed!"

Oh of course we're talking about X/XX/XY/XXY/XXX/whatever. I had assumed it was completely obvious that nobody cares if the blood has the wrong hormones. Why did you even feel the need to bring that up? Why the fuck would you even think that's statistically significant? In 80,000 however many it was donors, you're going to find maybe three to five trans women (depending on who you listen to for your demographic statistics) and a trans man if you're lucky. You might even turn up one of those other rare pokémon (intersex, androgen insensitive, you name it) depending on the luck of the draw.
Here's the problem. I have no objection to presenting medically accurate information when donating blood in an ideal world. It just makes sense. If you can somehow convince TERFs and Christians to go soak their heads, that would be great. I'll keep having fun freaking guys the fuck out by using their bathroom. The more insane things get, the ruder I can be about it. Just keep imaging that linebacker in a dress. Yes, yes, that's what all us faggots look like. Yes, yes, trans men don't exist. My advanced infiltrator [wikia.com] mode has never worked so well! Have a good day!

Because you wrote "gender", not "sex".
If you think I consider any gender effects to be statistically significant, then you seriously lack reading comprehension.
