Así que entro al Centro de Donación de Sangre de la Cruz Roja en Fairfax y luego de ser cuestionado acerca de un montón de cosas incluyendo en dónde he estado en los últimos 12 meses (en muchos lugares y visto muchas cosas), me pregunta la tecnóloga, "¿puedes por favor decir tu género, masculino o femenino?(!)" Como la pregunta me causó curiosidad, le pregunté cuál era el propósito de la misma. Ella dijo que la Cruz Roja decidió hacer esa pregunta porque a veces la gente suele cambiar de género y al preguntarles su preferencia de género tenemos la información más actualizada de ellos. En otras palabras, "evitamos ofender a alguien al darles la oportunidad de decir su preferencia." Biología vs. preferencia. ¿Acaso no somos poderosos?
So I get into the Red Cross Blood Donation Center in Fairfax and after being questioned about a ton of things including where have I been in the last 12 months (many places and seen many things), I'm asked by my attending technician, "Could you please state your gender as male or female?(!)" Since I was curious about the question, I asked her what's the purpose of it. She said the Red Cross decided to ask the question because sometimes people are known to change their gender and by asking them their gender preference we have the most updated information about them. In other words, "we avoid offending anybody by giving them the chance to state their preference." Biology vs. preference. Aren't we powerful?
