Getting a haircut is not essential but getting a coffee is ??
With hairdressers and Barbers set to be closed until May at the earliest, what are we supposed to do with our hair ? .
Every Day , I watch people coming out of the local coffee shop with their coffee and cakes or whatever and this is deemed Essential but getting your hair cut is not essential ?
If you could see my hair as I write this , I'm sure you'd agree its a health risk to everyone and getting it cut is most essential to the health of the nation .
It just makes no sense , people can crowd into busy supermarkets and thats perfectly ok but if you badly need a haircut thats breaking the law .
Have they lost the plot completely .

transgender therapy is much more damaging than conversion therapy . with trans therapy you have bodily mutilation , irreversible medication to stop the natural development of the body and serious side effects from drugs such as puberty blockers . why dont they ban transgender therapy .

so it will be legal for children to have double mastectomy to change gender but illegal for therapy to discourage this .
transgender therapy is barbaric and yet this is perfectly ok by our government and anyone offering therapy to help children keep their existing gender is to be outlawed
