Bodily Autonomy

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
The comparison to blood transfusion is really great and describes perfectly my personal feelings about the topic
Am o neg. Have given blood in the past but I pass out any time blood is drawn, even small amounts for testing. Donation techs told me multiple times to just stop coming. I keep my blood now. I tried, but I won't put myself or the techs through that again. I warn phlebs at the doctor's office what is going to happen, most listen, but every now and then I get to really scare someone.
I'm curious, do you have a conditionor is it just some unexplainable pass out? Asking cause I can relate to some extent, even though I'm ok with normal amounts for blood tests.
No known condition, just lights out when blood is drawn by a professional. Doesn't happen if i spring a leak on accident. Just triggers my nope switch I guess.
Vasovagal syncope, likely.
What did you call me? I'll have you know I know right where my towel is.
