That\u2019s because biological women may identify as men while still retaining their ability to reproduce.

Turner said. \u201cAs a public body, we are aware of changes in society in how such questions can be asked without discrimination and have a duty to promote inclusion \u2013 so all donors are now being asked the same questions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A 66-year-old Scottish man who has donated blood for years says he was turned away after refusing to answer if he was, or had recently been, pregnant.
