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, will doubtless ensue.

A demonstration, were one needed, that men and women who pretend to be “non-binary,” a miraculously unsexed being – 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.”

Says Mr Migneault, our guide to a softer, fluffier, more fragrant world.

Readers may wish to ponder whether putting small businesses at the mercy of mentally ill men – men 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:
