surely you go into the hairdresser or barber & tell them how you want you hair cutting - Now my 50's I had short hair throughout my childhood, grew it long in my late teens then shaved if off in my late 20's & 30's (Sinead O'Connor style) grew it long again a& now wear it short.

I am not NB, I am a trans man.
Pre transition it was very difficult for me to get a "male" haircut. I always had to test with lots of hair cutters before I found one who wouldn't "feminize" my cut.
Some felt like they destroy my beauty if they do it the way I want.

I'm a women. About 4 years ago I had a mohawk with shaved sides, done by a hairdresser and maintained for a short while by a local barber.
No one cared that I was a women, no one. I mean, absolutely no one objected to me having short hair in either the hairdressers or barbers.

Well ya see, this person in non-binary, not a woman. Their existence isn't acknowledged in any way by society. But thanks for sharing your experience of privilege and comfort.

you obviously didn’t understand the video. it’s not about haircuts, it’s about living in a world that wants to force you into two groups when being seen as either of those quite literally makes you want to die
