@InfoSecSherpa@infosec.exchange it’s worth highlighting that lots of donor criteria (hugely impacting queer peeps) changed a couple of years ago, so people who have previously been turned away may want to check out the latest rules: https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/how-to-donate/eligibility-requirements/eligibility-criteria-alphabetical.html Also, lots of people have various issues with the Red Cross, but there’s likely a local blood organization you can donate to (or even donate directly at a hospital!) if you want your blood to stay local.
