If you go through the process of finding the 20 Men who want to remain anonymous, yeah

Don’t need to find the men specifically, just takes the kid doing a genealogical test and they will likely have connections with others from the donor’s family. Doesn’t take a detective to figure out the identity from there.

Not everyone does those DNA tests though. I have shockingly very few matches that are close enough to deduce anything from. Though my family has lived in a poor rural area for generations, so it tracks that most of them don’t have the disposable income to pay for frivolous DNA testing

So you’re the one they connect through then. Sure, not everyone does it, but all it takes is one second cousin, and you’ve massively narrowed your field.
