It's Trans Awareness Week and I've just received a work email advertising these for free. 🙄 I could do with a haircut - do you think I could go and say that I identify as a woman and need my femenine gender affirmed?

Did no-one ever tell them, as small children, that girls and women can in fact have short hair, and men and boys long hair?

Are we to believe that Bill Bailey, Keanu Reeves, Bob Marley, Jesus, Beethoven and Plato are or were in fact women, and that Judi Dench, Halle Berry, Audrey Hepburn, Princess Diana, Keira Knightley and Julie Andrew's are or were men?

The blinkered, obedient narrow mindedness is just astounding, in this day and age.

Santa is a woman.

First deletion or did you say badge of honour? Didn't see the post.

by the way, I had my first deletion

@MNHQ I was actually about to report my own post as I thought it might sound rude, but I seriously do not have time for all the NB nonsense.

Laetitia Ky has quite affirmative hair.

Fantastic video. Thank you for posting.

Googling images I can see my haircut in non gender haircuts. I never knew I wasn't a woman because I have short hair. I did get called sir once from a distance when I was behind the wheel so I guess I should've known! In the 80s I had my hair like John Taylor from Duran Duran and later like Rick Astley!

I am really tempted to ask

Show quote history

I've looked and it's the haircut for edgy pp in Les Halles, Paris circa 1984

I saw a hairdresser's price list this weekend offering different prices for a woman's cut, a non-binary cut, and a man's cut. What does that even mean? What is a non-binary hair cut? Is it a matter of time? Or complexity?

Did you identify as whichever was cheapest?

Just typed it into Google and my exact haircut is on there. I hate myself.

I google imaged it and am seeing a LOT of bobs. Bobs!!! I get how people with short hair, long fringes and undercuts can pretend to themselves that they have some sort of groundbreaking haircut. (They don't, lots of people had those in the eighties.) But fucking bobs! Those haven't been anything special for literally a century!

Based on this thread I've decided to grow my hair long (after 30 years of short cuts including a variety of hairdressers and barbers and even a seat in someone's street food cafe when travelling, rusty scissors, top salons and clippers)...I don't want people to think I have a 'gender affirming haircut'
Although I'm quite middle aged so they'd likely not notice either way.

Hair is dead and doesn't have a gender, or a brain to 'identify as' anything in particular.

Next week, let's have a non gender coffee in a non gender mug, eat non gender cake and vacuum the non gender stairs. Or how about admitting that 'gender' doesn't actually exist in any meaningful way?

I saw an advert for a coffee that came in a tin with lots of different pronouns on it - because viability of pronouns was important or some such waffle. I think if your sense of self is so fragile that you need your coffee to affirm them then you probably should seek professional help rather than rely on the coffee

Using her hair to give her views on pronouns

Is it cheaper? If so I'm definitely identifying as NB. Come to think of it if the man's cut is cheaper I'm a man. Even if I still want a shoulder length bob. Can't deny feelz now, can we.

So we have Trans awareness week, LBGT month, Trans day of remembrance. When is GC day?

Don't forget Pride month.

Months, I think? Sure Manchester is different to London

They'd be better off saying

Simple clipper cut - nothing fancy £X
Short cut with additional styling £
Trim any length £
etc

Remove any talk of gender from the price list at all.

When it’s time to clean up the mess.

Ridelikethewindypops · 01/11/2022 17:59

As I suspected, my do is on Google as gender affirming cos I have short hair and am a woman, but am also still cool ( or at least my hair is )
I knew it would just be nice short hair 🤷‍♀️

I've just checked online in case I imagined it and the actual term used is 'non gender hair cut.' A 'non gender hair cut short' is £3 more expensive than a bloke's cut, but £16 cheaper than a lady's cut, while a 'non gender hair cut long' is... the same price as a lady's cut.

My eyes rolled so hard I've lost them under the sofa

Ridelikethewindypops · 01/11/2022 17:55

This is interesting! I deffo want the cheaper/ gender affirming/ blokey/ non binary do. I'm off to Google and see if my hair is there...

Interesting. So if I wanted to get a Grade 3 there I should tell them I’m a bloke & it would be cheaper.
