Meanwhile, in the never ending persecution of mensfolk (at least in the fevered minds of the wingularity), we get this story:

A transgender male who was denied a haircut at a Long Beach barber shop sued the business Tuesday, claiming the employees said they did not cut women’s hair and that females were not allowed in the shop.

Rose Trevis’ Los Angeles Superior Court lawsuit against Hawleywood’s Barber Shop alleges discrimination based on gender and gender identity. The suit seeks unspecified damages.

The shop’s owner did not return a phone message asking him for comment.

According to the lawsuit, Hawleywood’s website describes the shop as a “men’s sanctuary” and includes the statement, “You all know how distracting a woman can be and who wants a straight-razor shave with a buxom blonde in the joint?”

I’ve seen a few barbershops that have tried to pull this and it makes no sense to me. Then again, my barbershop not only allows women customers, they have a female barber. It was only a matter of time before this happened, and I don’t feel the least bit bad about it. If you’re going to be open to the public, well, that means everyone.
