Hair Pronouns Or Else

Hair Crisis

February 19, 2026 39 Comments

And in absurd, wearying narcissism news, a new realm of human suffering has been discovered:

A Montreal hair salon has been ordered to pay $500 to a customer who claimed the company’s booking system is discriminatory. Alexe Frédéric Migneault identifies as non-binary and was asked to select a male or female haircut on the salon’s site in 2023.

Well, ladies’ haircuts generally take longer. And this has to be scheduled accordingly.

Migneault was disappointed to find that during the booking process, they were asked to select between a men’s or women’s cut and sent an email asking for accommodation.

They say they were told to just select one or the other.

No laughing at the back. Being a made-up cartoon character is a serious business.

Naturally, this reminder of reality had to be punished, at length, and so,

They filed a complaint with the Human Rights Commission, which recommended a $500 settlement.

Because just, you know, getting over yourself was never an option.

And this being Canada, a precedent has been set. More rumblings of boutique victimhood, and opportunist chiselling by mentally ill men and women, will doubtless ensue.

A demonstration, were one needed, that men and women who pretend to be “non-binary,” miraculously unsexed beings – a fantasy to which you must be made to defer – may not have the best of intentions. Indeed, theirs may be a world of self-preoccupation and unrelenting spite.

“I was already spiralling into a huge mental health crisis… I was unable to work for a year and a half.”

Supposedly because of a haircut booking form.

Readers may wish to ponder whether putting small businesses at the mercy of the mentally ill – say, people with a history of narcissistic ‘activism’ and repeated hunger strikes, i.e., threats of self-harm – is an obvious path to utopia. And whether such indulgence and affirmation will result in a better, more caring society, or merely a twitchier and more neurotic one.

Oh yes, nearly forgot. The hair in question:

Regarding Tattoos

February 17, 2026 119 Comments

Some theories, in a sequence.

First up, Dr Daisy Dixon, a philosopher of art at Cardiff University:

my theory is that a reason these men don’t like tattoos on women is because it’s an outward sign of creative agency and self-ownership – it signals that the woman’s body is hers and no one else’s – it aesthetically undermines and rejects men’s felt entitlement to our bodies 🖤 https://t.co/EwlxW9oxHQ

— Dr Daisy Dixon (@daisyldixon) February 15, 2026

Then, a less lofty and perhaps more plausible take by Tim Newman:

For me it reflects poor decision-making which is downstream of poor judgement. Not something you really want in a relationship. https://t.co/9U2u4Y2OG0

— Tim Newman (@whitesundesert) February 16, 2026

And Devon Eriksen offers this, which you may want to read in full:

There is a sort of woman who is deeply and personally offended that Men don’t like Thing.

And she always has Theory.

Theory is about how Men don’t like Thing because they are Bad. All of this is explained by Story.

Story might be plausible, and make sense, but it’s one of… https://t.co/ROC5Bab0wR

— Devon Eriksen (@Devon_Eriksen_) February 15, 2026

I should add that there may in fact be more than one Daisy Dixon. But still.

And because you like footnotes.

Consider this an open thread. Share ye links and bicker.

Those Poor Darling Paedophiles

Appetites

February 14, 2026 103 Comments

Via Pst314 and Aelf, more adventures in super-niche identities:

A trans-identified male and “radical queer activist” residing in Seattle, Washington, has been publicly advocating for paedophilic relationships with children while also organising “in-person events for anyone under the queer rainbow.”

The queer rainbow. How terribly jolly. All sparkles and ponies.

Ally Kotetsu, who describes himself as “a non-binary transgender woman who is transrace Japanese,”

He has all of the badges. See how they catch the light.

is campaigning both online and in public through an effort he calls Beyond the Plus, which advocates for the rights of “beings who are romantically or sexually attracted to beings who are below the age of 18.”

Not children, just beings. And no, he doesn’t mean seventeen-and-a-bit. Eight and upwards, since you ask.

These being Very Modern Times, victimhood is invoked:

According to Beyond the Plus, “MAPs” [Minor Attracted Persons] are some of “the world’s most marginalised beings.”

Ah, the new downtrodden. Nonce rights now.

Mr Kotetsu’s Beyond the Plus website also forbids any disapproval of interspecies sexual attraction. Because hey, what’s paedophilia without a dash of bestiality? And so, members “must make all reasonable efforts to respect” the unsavoury appetites and professed identities of other participants. And of course any and all fabulist pronouns.

Needless to say, the site features many claims that are both bold and unconvincing:

Importantly, [MAP] only refers to attractions, without implying harmful or illegal actions – most MAPs… don’t want to harm anyone any more than non-MAPs do.

One might, I think, call that a lie. Paedophiles do want to molest children, thereby doing harm. They desire it. It’s the very definition of what they are.

Indeed, as the linked Reduxx article reveals, Mr Kotetsu and his publishing associates, all trans-identified males, have an extensive history of lively, one might say titillated, online discussions regarding child molestation and its various sub-genres, including sadomasochism and incestuous necrophilia, along with pointers as to how to circumvent normal online proprieties and legal restrictions when sharing… content.

One of Mr Kotetsu’s associates, a cross-dressing man named Violet Rose, enthuses about “hurtcore,” a form of sadomasochism involving minors. Mr Rose chides critics of the phenomenon, i.e., critics within their own bedlamite community – those who find it a little too much – instructing them to “stop being ageist.”

Because, you know, downtrodden.

In light of which, Mr Kotetsu’s claim that “MAPs… don’t want to harm anyone any more than non-MAPs do” may strike readers as unpersuasive.

Not unlike saying,

‘I have a strong urge to poison other people’s pets. I think about it a lot, at length, quite intensely. I frequently picture scenarios in which I’m poisoning other people’s pets. The ways I would do it. The poisons I would use. But I’m not a danger to anyone’s pets. And I’m available for dog-sitting any time, even at short notice.’

Something along those lines.
