Blood banks don’t segregate by sex or gender
@DocPhoenix Well, yeah, that’s the point. To improve medical outcomes they probably should be.
@DocPhoenix No, but clearly the blood used in that study was. I’ve no idea whether the study’s findings are accurate or not of course.
@DocPhoenix @SloaneFragment ..next she's going to talk about soil- OH NO
@DocPhoenix Just wait she'll be demanding blood is separated by race next Transphobia homophobia anti semitism and white supremacy are all closely interlinked
@DocPhoenix @RoseSchmits I read the study she quoted. It’s extremely preliminary, and the difference in outcomes is negligible for people in the icu less than 5 days. The effect got stronger with time. But anyone in the icu is very sick to begin with. There are a *lot* of confounding factors.
@DocPhoenix Wasn’t this a line in a Tony Hancock radio show? ‘I don’t want any riff-raff having my blood. Or any woman, for that matter’.
@DocPhoenix And before this argument was used against trans and gay people, it was used against people from different ethnic backgrounds - I remember an episode of M*A*S*H where a racist soldier goes berserk over being given "black blood", and it was based on a real story.
@DocPhoenix But maybe they should, and this study says they must ban the blood of FEMALES!
@DocPhoenix Blood purity now? Seriously?? Did she ever... read her own books? 🤦
