Confronting the challenge of gender nonconforming donors: A blood center's three-year experience

CONCLUSION: Increased gender options on the DHQ allowing gender diverse self-identification enhances inclusivity. Transgender and nonbinary individuals accounted for a minority of donors, most of whom are younger, and have a comparable return rate to M/F donors. Shifts in donor policies can ensure inclusivity of this diverse population and provide an opportunity to expand the base of eligible donors.PMID:37265374 | DOI:10.1111/trf.17446
