It probably doesn't help but I'm a cis woman who doesn't have great hair (so I had to keep it short) and I got called sir ALL THE TIME into my mid 20s. Nothing seemed to help: wearing long pink sleeves under my work shirt. Even people who heard my extremely high-pitched voice would do it sometimes.

Hair seems to carry more weight than other visual cues. I have a son with long hair and a daughter with short hair, and people constantly address my son as a girl and my daughter as a boy. It doesn't matter how they are dressed or how we are addressing them.

Yeah! I don't know what's up with that

I try to ignore physical features that people can't control. Things like skin color and glass eyes. But not words on their T-shirt or bumper stickers on their car. With wig technology what it is today, hair is a borderline case. So, of all of the gender-coded features, I feel like hair is not the most problematic. Maybe that's why people are like that?

I feel like I'm being dumb, but is that some kind of razor in the second panel? I've never seen one like that

[–] CentauriBeau@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It’s a straight razor. This is what people used before safety razors were invented. Still popular in barbershops and with folks that enjoy the challenge for an old school vibe.

Ahh but I was getting the impression there's a purple plastic covering on it (whenever I've seen straight razors it's just pure metal)? So initially I thought it was some kind of exfoliation tool or a type of razor I'd never seen before

eyebrow or touch up razor they have a smaller blade and more of the blade is covered, sometimes just the edge of the blade peaks through, it gives you more precision when you're trying to remove some hair more carefully.

Ooooh thank you! I've learnt something new :3
