The struggles of getting a haircut as a non-binary person

You know you are getting old when you think “they should bring back national service” 😂

Its irony my arse

Just bantz isn’t it...

You should take the high road eckhart

Absolutely no need to be mean to someone you think is being mean

Just lowers you to their level and makes you look....errrrr, well...mean

Wow. I have no words. Where on earth has she (they?) found this salon that only cuts feminine hair? I have had to change hairdressers when they've felt the cut I want wasn't really what I wanted.. but theres always another hairdresser. I never felt oppressed.

@RufustheLanglovingreindeer it was irony. I wasn't trying to be charming. I was being a mean jelly bean to someone because they were being a mean jelly bean.

Your definition of what's important isn't the same as everyone's, nor is it final or conclusive.

I think the potential end of the world as we know it is pretty damn important.
Digging up the garden at a garden in Cambridge doesn’t help.

Well I couldn't make it to the end.
What a load of self-indulgent tripe.
There are plenty of unisex hair dressers

Hmm.

Climate change or a haircut as a matter of priority.

Hmm.

That's a difficult one....

@FlamingoAndJohn young people are wound up about a lot of stuff at the moment, they've been protesting about climate change, haven't you noticed? Your definition of what's important isn't the same as everyone's, nor is it final or conclusive.

Poop

Bold fail....

you poor little snowflake

Well aren’t you the charmer

Why so mean jelly bean?

donquixote I wouldn't have posted the video myself, if I was that person. But many people of that age group are, have been, and probably always will be, a bit over dramatic about stuff. I don't know why MNetters get all flustered about it.

Being furious and being exasperated are very different things.

It’s more propaganda from the BBC. This 0.5% of the population seem to take up a lot of media coverage - even their article about the HRT shortage was about how it’s affecting trans women.

But yes, the idea that getting a haircut is a “struggle” is ridiculous beyond words. What these people will do if they ever experience actual hardships or difficulties doesn’t bear thinking about. Melt, I suppose.

worriedmum I don't see why a bit of attention seeking bothers people so much. Bleating about bleating and whinging about whinging is ironic. As is my commenting about commenting! I just don't get why you seem so furious about it.

Maybe in your house that's how calm people speak, but in mine, you'd have to be quite pissed off to say something like that.

It's MN, the lack of false tact is part of the charm. People often think my posts are annoyed when they aren't.

Oh, I see. I didn't realise it was on the BBC.

Fair enough. Genuine question: do you not think the video is silly?

Honestly I find the constant representations of Trans people on the BBC as fragile imbeciles, intent on silencing any reference to biological reality, to be far worse than anything in the mail.

One moronic video can be an error, but it's constant.

The thing is that there is so much wrong in this country and the wider world right now, the slide to the right, racism, the government and who really controls it, the extreme weather right now, climate change etc. Stuff that is a real problem, stuff that really needs to be tackled. But the current generation of young people are creating problems that don’t exist and farting about while the world literally burns around them.

I said the other day that I heard Smells Like Teen Spirit, that was nearly 30 years ago. Where has all the anger gone? There is so much to be angry about but getting someone’s pronouns right is not one of them.

If you think I said most people are commenting in fury, I think you may need to accept that you don't always comprehend comments accurately

I was asking WorriedMum why she was so furious, after her 'Jesus... attention seeking bullshit' comment. Maybe in your house that's how calm people speak, but in mine, you'd have to be quite pissed off to say something like that. Everyone else I wondered why it's any different for them to comment than it is for the original Twitter poster to post.

What an absolute spanner. Looks like they take fashion and hair advice from 'Where's Wally'.
Maybe she needs to have a look af what's happening in Idlib and give her non- binary head a really good wobble. FFS.

@eckhart
Unlike this individual, l have not taken to twitter to whinge on about how no one takes my feelings into consideration.
Can you not see how this person is just attention seeking. Loads and loads and loads of salons are unisex..they are not rare or unusual...why doesnt she just walk into one and get a haircut instead of bleating on twitter about it.

I can't see the fury either , just exasperation

@donquixotedelamancha Oh, I see. I didn't realise it was on the BBC.

@WorriedMum6868 you poor little snowflake, it must be so hard for you that this young person hasn't taken your views into consideration.

Can you not see the irony in your fury?
