@theorytoe They seriously don't care if they give people HIV/AIDS. The trans and gay community fought hard to remove restrictions against gay men donating blood. They were told they must abstain from having sex with other men for three months before they could donate blood. But that rule was removed in May of 2023, because it "hurt their feelings" to be excluded. Because it takes time for the infection to become detectable, it's possible for screening to MISS the disease when the donated blood is being tested. People who receive blood donations have occasionally contracted HIV through donated blood. The concern is legitimate. The protection of the public has been subverted to appease the butthurt of gay men and trannies.
@firebird2110@theorytoe I totally forgot about the monkeypox thing! I don't know why we have to pretend a group that poses a threat to public health doesn't participate in the behaviors that we all KNOW they participate in. They should not have their FEELINGS prioritized over the actual lives that will be affected by their recklessness!
@Jennifer_Lee@theorytoe And as we found out when the whole Monkeypox thing blew up, a significant number of gay men are still engaging in unsafe sex and giving each other STDs including HIV, because hey, it's not an automatic death sentence any more 🙄 You'd like to think that it's not them wanting to give blood but personally I wouldn't want to bet my life on it.
