Gender affirming haircuts

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?

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

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.

Wtf is a gender affirming haircut? I shaved my head recently but it didn't make me feel like a man? Anyone can have any haircut they wish to have. How daft.

I am really tempted to ask

Laetitia Ky has quite affirmative hair.

Is the women's cut still more expensive than the men's?

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?

I commented on a thread recently where a woman was apprehensive about going to a barber's for a haircut. Not because she's trans etc but because it's cheaper. I said my MiL has a good barber's who crops her hair with clippers for £5 on OAP day. The OP got it done and was happy with the results, after we all encouraged her.

There is no such thing as a gender affirming haircut. Its a haircut.

Say you identify as a blonde, and make sure they add in highlights.

Blimey! What does this look like? A mullet? Crew cut?

Oh yes! Especially given your user name .

Trans awareness week….you’d think after the recent spectacles on tv, they might be better off keeping the ‘heads’ down.

Yes.
