Been to the blood bank yesterday to donate blood. Quick test showed I could not donate this time. Iron was at 134 but must be 135 or above to donate. It’s probably due to surgery I had last month, and now i’ve been advised to wait 6 months. Somehow It makes me feel a bit sad and guilty.

          But your opinion of my ignorance is subjective, and from where I’m standing, you look like the ignorant one.

            Your earlier opinion is factually false. You continue to assert it is true. That’s objectively ignorant.

            I’m going to assume it is willful ignorance because I’d like to think someone in an often maligned group, such as LGBTQ+ would know what it’s like to be wrongfully lumped into a group you don’t belong to, with attributes and values you do not carry.

            You lumping every American as the same is no better than what racists do, what bigots do, what ICE does, what Zionists push, or what magats spew. If that’s truly what you are and how you think, then you are being exactly what you accuse all Americans of being.
