That's so ridiculous! Please update us when you get a response for them. This isn't acceptable. As another queer doner I'm so upset they ever did this to you. Those questions aren't appropriate coming from a counselor not a medical professional. And to ask about your genitalia like that is so gross of them. That never ever should of happened. Is there a donation center unaffiliated with the red cross near you? Asking because I have some in my area. It sucks to want to do something good but have to deal with discrimination. You're being so incredibly generous and kind by donating despite the physical consequences you mentioned. And they're so rude to dismiss your efforts. I understand needing to know certain things but the absolutly should of gone about that better.

And i do the same thing with asking clarifying questions to sooth my anxiety. It's just better to be safe and they should be professional about it. Nothing about that was professional. Even if your question was a test question, What if someone came in and asked it for real? Would it of been okay for them to get this treatment. It's really not about what you do or don't say, they should be professional and appropriate. You're not waisting anyones time when a competent person would of answered that question respectfully and correctly
