'My ability to see depends on men giving blood'

A woman who would lose her vision if there was not enough male blood available to treat her condition is urging more men to donate.

Unlike men, women produce antibodies during pregnancy which makes their blood unviable for numerous specialist transfusions and blood-based products, such as complete blood transfusions in newborn babies.Mrs Daniels's life turned upside down when her sight began to deteriorate at an alarming rate. NHS Blood and Transplant is aiming for a 26% increase in new male donors this year in a bid to help fix the widening gender imbalance.Image caption"We need more than 68,000 men to start donating blood this year," said Mike Stredder, head of donor recruitment at NHSBT.

NHS Blood and Transplant needs 1.4 million units of blood each year to meet the needs of patients across England - more than 6,000 blood donations per day

So, can the blood come from trans men, or do you agree that trans men are different than men?

People diagnosed with iron loading due to Haemochromatosis regularly blood let 450ml of blood (normally weekly) until their condition is under control (aka ‘in maintenance). Currently in the UK our blood donation service won’t accept this blood so it is discarded. Time for change

An imbalance is not necessarily the same as not enough male blood; it always looks roughly equal when I give blood; and the imbalance cited (41%) is in new blood donors.

Careful of the toxic masculinity present though

WOW this genuinely shocks me....! It’s not often you see something pro men these days at all!
