Eventually they'll give women's blood containing pregnancy-related antibodies to men who insist they're biological women and natural selection will ensue.

The American Red Cross already allows you to select your sex, so it's already a threat. From the site of the American Red Cross:

"The FDA revised guidance states, “In the context of the donor history questionnaire, FDA recommends that male or female gender be taken to be self-identified and self-reported.” This change allows blood donors to register with the gender in which they identify. The Red Cross will no longer ask donors to answer both male and female questions when attempting to donate. "

This is kind of silly, all that means is that they'll test the blood for sex later and classify it accordingly. I mean they test blood for all sorts of things before they pool it and repackage it, so why not sex.

Good to know, thanks. But still, why does the Red Cross cave to the gender loons - if the Red Cross doesn't trust people to accurately report their sex, why ask the question at all if not to give an ego boost to gender speshuls.

Ah, that's a big pill to swallow.
