Michigan hair salon owner sparks LGBTQ+ outrage by banning ‘anything other than a man/woman’
Fox News ^ | 7/12/23 | Patrick Hauf

A Michigan hair salon owner says anyone who does not identify as either a man or woman is "not welcome" at her business and should instead go to a pet groomer — a statement that sparked outrage from the LGBTQ+ community.

"If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman, please seek services at a local pet groomer," a now-deleted Facebook post from Studio 8 Hair Lab read. "You are not welcome at this salon. Period. Should you request to have a preferred pronoun used please note we may simply refer to you as ‘hey you.’"

The post went viral after it was shared in a Facebook group for Traverse City residents, where the salon is located.

"This is a real post from a local salon in downtown Traverse City," one user shared in the group with a screenshot of the post. "You are allowed to your opinion but you are not allowed to discrimate! [sic]."

I think people must tzke it to the absurd in order to have it end.

Like, walk into work wearing a stoplight costume. I identify as a stoplight. In meetings, just stand there and switch colors.

Yes they are. They are allowed to “discrimate.” If they don’t want freaks in their salon, they don’t have to have freaks in their salon.

“I think people must tzke it to the absurd in order to have it end.”

I was listening to Tim Pool’s podcast. His guest said something to the effect that the alphabet people were so loud that companies thought there were many more of them than there is. The college graduates the companies hired are indoctrinated and they actually see the world as fully populated by the alphabet people. Gradually, the companies lost contact with their real customers and the real world.

For over thirty years I worked in big companies. The people running them live in a bubble. They have their own parking lot. they often have their own entrances. Many companies had special dining facilities and even wait staff. The top-level people’s only contact with “the real world” is their HR interface. You can’t get hired in HR without a college degree and that degree won’t be in STEM. For the most part, the people running companies probably believe the world is 90% alphabet people. So, they’d better get onboard.

Meanwhile she’s losing her manufacturing and products. Liberals are nasty but they do fight back. I’d love for republicans to do the same.

The alphabet people are just cowardly bullies who want to push people around without the risk of getting a beatdown as past bullies often risked and deserved.

Social media has more than shown as a private company that will turn down any comment(s) they dislike or go against their terms of service.

Imho small biz has a right to do the same.

given the new info about how govt infiltrated social media on all fronts
and censored millions of accounts ,etc..
without a members knowledge a member agreed to their terms of service.

it should be clear a small biz has the right to set their own terms of service as anticipated and delivered
even though the customer does not “ sign” anything prior to services rendered.

Im no lawyer but wonder if the law of
bailments apply?

I thought, surely someone else has to see the flaw in her “restriction”. Thank you for giving me hope.
