Much of this woke stuff, we DO need to put up with and just keep our opinions to ourselves if we encounter it when we are out in public -- but that doesn't mean that most of us like it or approve of it. (But we will certainly show our displeasure when we vote this November.)

Hurt feelings is what has gotten us into this in the first place, when biology is the answer, not feelings about biology.

I spent some time googling through blood donor forms, and didn't ever find a question where you had to check whether you are male or female.
I DID see a "if you are female" question, but why even that? Why do you need that? How about, "are you pregnant or breastfeeding"? The guys would check no, and move on to the next step in the donation process. It's not like there was an entire burdensome section with question after question. It would be EASIER to just answer "no" to that than read the section that says "If you are female".
Sometimes, we're too quick to answer an issue, when in fact, you don't need to know what gender the donor is, just whether they're pregnant or breastfeeding. Cut to the chase. One question.

"Is the form complete?" is a yes/no question. And the people who stand at the counter to take the forms aren't the ones who manage exceptions to the documentation rules.

I got there long before you ... Still confused? Not my issue.

Form design is way harder than most think, and getting into subclauses and "Only fill in this is part if under these conditions" lowers the quality of the input.
Just answer "none of your business". Like back when Barry was president and they asked if we had guns in the home.
