    Yeah but the entire point is that hairdressers get that reaction you're describing from clients who ... well, happen to be women and the person in that comic isn't a woman. That's the entire point, that hairdressers really struggle to respect the gender identity of AFAB trans people. It's super widespread. Every time i look in localized trans online spaces, i keep seeing posts by trans dudes and transmasc nonbinary people who desperately ask for trans inclusive hairdressers in the area because they reliably get a pixie cut every time they explicitly show a picture of a yes-chad haircut as an example, and all the explaining doesn't help them at all, it goes exactly like in the picture. Apparently it's super fucking hard to find cooperative hairdressers as a transmasculine person who will just respect your gender instead of trying to feminize you.
