A Scottish man was turned away from a blood donation center because he refused to indicate whether he was pregnant, according to a report.
Leslie Sinclair, a 66-year-old father of two, had donated some 125 pints of blood over five decades before he was barred from his altruistic efforts during a trip Wednesday amid a push for new donors, Daily Mail reported.

Sinclair has given 125 pints of blood across five decades, and affirmed that the pregnancy question simply didn’t apply to a retired adult male who is in his 60s.

A 66-year-old man from the United kingdom, a lifelong blood donor, was turned away from donating in June because he refused to state on his pre-donation form whether he was pregnant or not.
Leslie Sinclair, a retired driver for an engineering company, was turned away from a blood drive at the Albert Halls clinic in Scotland. The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service (SNBTS) organized the drive and were responsible for rejecting Sinclair because, as the Telegraph reports, they are dedicated to inclusivity.
Sinclair has given 125 pints of blood across five decades, and affirmed that the pregnancy question simply didn’t apply to a retired adult male who is in his 60s.
Explaining to the Daily Mail, Sinclair said that he has been donating blood since he was 18.
“I am angry because I have been giving blood since I was 18 and have regularly gone along. I’m very happy to do so without any problem,” he said.
“There is always a form to fill in and that’s fine – they tend to ask about medical conditions or diseases – and clearly that’s because the blood needs to be safe. This time around, there was a question I hadn’t seen before: ‘Are you pregnant, or have you been in the last six months?’ which required a yes or no answer.”
“I pointed out to the staff that it was impossible for me to be in that position but I was told that I would need to answer, otherwise I couldn’t give blood,” he continued. “I told them that was stupid and that if I had to leave, I wouldn’t be back, and that was it, I got on my bike and cycled away.”
… SNBTS’s strict adherence to the application of critical gender theory to medical science follows in the footsteps of similar moves from the UK’s National Health Service (NHS).
In a similar effort to be more “inclusive” the NHS dropped the word “woman” from its health guidelines and writings.
