Male blood donor who refused to say if he was pregnant turned away

Leslie Sinclair, 66, who is a retired driver for an engineering company, is a committed donor who has given 125 pints of blood in the last five decades.

However, on his most recent trip to the Albert Halls clinic in Stirling, Scotland, he was barred from donating after he said it was unnecessary for him to answer a question on a form asking if he was pregnant as he is a man in his 60s, MailOnline report.

Staff at the clinic said they could not accept his blood unless he provided a response, arguing that it is not always clear if someone is pregnant and the policy is in place to "promote inclusiveness".
...
The father of two said he had been giving blood since he was 18 and had never had any issues before.

 They gotta be a bunch of real morons if they even need to ask him if he is pregnant!
Who cares about inclusiveness? He was there just to donate blood just in case a patient needs a transfusion. That patient won't ever ask him anything like that, he or she simply wants to survive.
Biology is a science, it shouldn't be disregarded just as that hospital staff has been doing as of late.
They should have NEVER politicized blood donations at all!
