he does not believe her and she sues him?

interesting case as I can genuinely see both sides I think the hairdresser most likely did not mean any harm from it but if the guy did clear up that he was in fact a guy the hairdresser should have apologised and that's it. pretty big fine for something quite small though but I have a feeling a lot led up to it

Seems like a ridiculous contract in the first place tbh. It's a bit strange to sperate hairdressers by gender in any case. There are some men with long hair, so would be better served by a barber more used to cutting and styling longer hair (e.g. a "women's" barber) and some women who would be better served by someone more used to cutting short hair (a "men's" barber).

Seems more sensible to have a policy based on what sort of haircut a person wants than what's between their legs.

Well yes, its a bit of an odd contract.

Hairdressers are not really separated by 'gender' anyway, but barbers are generally for blokes and blokes only, where hairdressers will do either sex.

I think its a bit of a disgrace the difference in price between the two mind. I have a friend with short hair who gets it done at the hairdressers and it costs her 15 quid, where the local barbers would do it for 6. She has asked in the barbers before actually and been told the barbers is only insured to cut mens hair...not sure how true that is BUT I don't see why the barbers would turn down custom and make up bollocks reasons.

Youtuber Magdalen Berns spoke in one of her videos about how she was refused by a barber, so had to go to a hairdressers. She didn't chimp out and take it to court.

This transman doesn’t pass tbh.Barber maybe thought the transman was trying to pull his plonker for a cheap haircut

there's so much petty nonsense in this world. a contract defining the type of person whose hair is allowed to be cut? if someone walks into your business and wants to pay you money to cut their hair, cut their damn hair! why is something as simple as getting your hair cut now the basis for another bloody gender debate! this is all so boring!

The whole 'contract' thing is probably bull. I go to a barbers where they cut men and women's hair. I have been to salons where they cut men and women's hair. If you choose to go to either or that's their choice. I have never heard of such a thing.

All hairdressers I have ever been to to both men and womens hair.

However I know of only one barbers that will do women.

They're rival businesses so it's probably used as way of a truce. You do men and I'll do women that way we both get a fair shot at a customer base.

The irish are known for the gentlemans handshake.....perhaps that is all this story needed.
