Then you say “I’m not a woman” and point at the barber’s chair (or point at discrimination laws)
Obviously there’s specifics to this, but sure, let’s do this: if you’re nonbinary, go to an NB friendly barbershop if that’s a possibility. If there are none close to you, go to a popular shop in a LGBT friendly city instead, and explain you’d like a “men’s” haircut. If that’s not a possibility, explain to your local barbershop that you’d like a men’s haircut, and that hairdressers are less experienced with that. If they are unable to, or you feel uncomfortable, go to a hairdresser and explicitly mention you want a men’s haircut, and show a picture, again mention you are comfortable with it being as short as in the pic. If they present something unsatisfactory, say “I’d like you to cut it shorter, please” when they ask whether you’re happy. If you don’t feel comfortable asking for a gnc haircut, then you’d have to do it yourself.
I had a knee-jerk reaction since I’m used to the reddit types who go “but what if___” because they just wanna be right about something, when that’s not conducive to the discussion
Prob get better results in that specific regard by going to a men’s barber shop
Except when they tell you “we don’t do women’s hair” and show you the door

All avenues exhausted now or did I miss anything?
I wasn’t trying to provoke a debate, I just wanted to complain about transphobia
Oh lmao fair my bad, I misjudged your comment
