Wimborne barber creates safe space for trans men

Available for over a year

Kai Strevens, from Winstons Blighty Barbershop in Wimborne, took the step after his own experiences when trying to get a masculine haircut. Refusal of service, misgendering and being given feminine hairstyles are all issues he said he had faced. The Barber Council said it had not experienced or received reports of trans discrimination in barber shops. Âé¶¹Éç reporter Sophie Cridland went down to the shop to meet him and one of his clients.
