I had heard this reported in the last 24 hours as a woman demanding female-type hairstyling for which the shop did not even possess the equipment.

The last line of this story changes EVERYTHING.

She wanted a MAN’S haircut. Since the establishment does MEN’S haircuts, their refusal to cut her hair WAS unjustified.

[TalBlack]

Yeah, let’s get the government after any one who is male or white or both who does any thing others do everyday with impunity.

[Dr. Sivana]

She wanted a MAN’S haircut. Since the establishment does MEN’S haircuts, their refusal to cut her hair WAS unjustified.

And that approach is why the lady's lingerie shops will have to accommodate the Bruce Jenners of the world. It should be the barber's call.

It doesn’t change a damned thing. Stop the whining! What part of “we reserve the right to refuse service,” is the problem? If I drop my wife off at a women’s gym, I don’t expect I’ll be able to work out there. Business operations should not be decided by a spiteful person’s tantrums!

Ask them to leave the premises nicely, and then throw the pansies out on their ear. Free association means not associating as well. To hell with liberalism!

[Shimmer1]

Unjustified, but IT SHOULDN’T BE AGAINST THE LAW.

[MrEdd]

Just like if some dude walks into a beauty parlor and wants a Brazilian wax.

I reject your Bruce Jenner can be Caitlin assertion that there can’t be separate sexes, in case you didn’t catch the sarcasm. Free association is a basic right, even in business.

Oh, and have fun working out at curves.

There may also be a licensing issue involved too. For example, the girl who cuts my hair is only a licensed "barber" which is stated on her publicly displayed license........

[Secret Agent Man]

And youd feel the same if a boutique refused to do a man’s request if he wanted it styled in a female hairdo?

I dont have a problem with a barbeshop that caters to one gender. I dont have a problem with a female boutique that only wants female customers. You apparently do.

You must have a real issue with Curves, then. They totaly refuse male clients for any and all reasons.
