There's a hair salon run by a 2x Dui business owner in Traverse City that's pretty much shot herself in the foot by refusing to service any trans or non-binary individual. Y'all know what to do. To quote a Twitter ally: BE A REAL SHAME IF THEY GOT "OVER BOOKED" !

And yes please, boost the fuck out of this for it fellow allies and LGBTQ users to see.
Oh and one final note. https://strandsfortrans.org/ If you're looking for a stylist that's accepting, here you go.
@PaganMother If they have not learned the lesson of what happens when you withhold kindness, perhaps they'll learn now.
@AskTheDevil @PaganMother Better yet, a hair products company has dumped her: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/07/hair-product-company-dumps-salon-owner-after-her-hateful-rant-comparing-trans-people-to-animals/
We had a similar thing locally, when one of my friends was turned away from a barber who didn't want to cut a gay man's hair.
We got a whole munch of femme men and drag queens to make appointments.
Guy ended up closing for a week and clearing all his appointments. Lost his reputation and never fully recovered.
And man, he's lucky that's all that happened, because he made my friend *cry*.
He was a work friend, and a bunch of us were ready to hulk smash, but he talked us down.
My MAGA sister with whom I have minimal contact has her second home in Traverse City.
Now designated as cocaine Capitol of US, let’s rectify this #lgbtqia travesty.
To note, Michigan has a hard line on discrimination against LGBTQ in this state. She's gunning to lose her business entirely with this statement and has already lost business relations to their supply vendors due to this statement.
