On the heels of the Jonathan Yaniv saga: Another Crazy BC Human Rights Tribunal Case

Do Canadian citizens have the “Human Right” to donate blood without having their sex and their medical history recorded? One non-binary person, who had their sex deleted from their birth certificate and replaced with an “x” claims it is, and has filed a discrimination claim with the same tribunal overseeing the Yaniv case.

The imposition on women’s rights caused by the erasure of sex as a legal category in British Columbia and its replacement with ‘gender identity’ seemed to reach a pinnacle in the Yaniv case, where a man filed 16 human rights complaints against women who refused to wax his balls. But the absurdity continues.

Failure to screen blood donors for sex and medical history may result in death for blood recipients. Surely this risk should outweigh the angst felt by those who want to compel fellow citizens to pretend that biological reality does not exist.

Not according to JT Beck (alternately “Jay Tee” Beck) and her loony lawyer, Adrienne Smith, who is representing her in her claim. Both women have publicly renounced their sex and identify as “non-binary”, which means they have an internal sense of themselves as existing on a developmental pathway absent any reproductive characteristics (a state that does not exist, even among intersex persons, but never mind). Their quasi-religious beliefs about their allegedly metaphysical reproductive systems (or absence thereof), along with their assertion that identity is a personal determination and not a mutually agreed upon social contract with certain observable characteristics and shared definitions, are not only protected in BC law (as they should be, like all personal beliefs, no matter how unlikely) but fellow citizens are also compelled to pretend to share these beliefs.

Except when they’d like you to ignore them! Or something, as when social belief in their made-up (but unquestionable!) identities prevents them from doing something they want to do- like donate blood.

I don't get the complaint.  Is it that the complainant wants her/his sex not recorded in medical and vital records; or is it that the complainant wants her/his sex not determined by the blood collection clinic?

Blood clinics have independent tests to determine presence of diseases and general characteristics, one of which is physical gender.

If the complaint is that medical records should not identify gender, it seems a valid complaint, personal to him or her.  If the complaint is that clinics should not perform tests to determine gender, s/he doesn't have a chance.

Once the blood is donated, it becomes the property of the blood collection entity.  The question has already been determined by the courts.  If anything is voluntarily alienated (ie, discarded), then the doner no longer retains rights regarding it.

Seems to me, I recall this coming up in the US, re: the garbagology debates.  Can police lawfully search through garbage that has been discarded by a suspect.  The courts have ruled that, once abandoned, anything becomes either public domain or the property of the receipient.

I realize blood is not garbage, but the principle is the same.  Once something is abandoned, either through discarding or through voluntary donation, the doner no longer has a legal interest in it.  

But this is Canadian law.  Sooo…
