is considering filing a complaint to The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario because her gender prevented her from getting a haircut. Nunes booked an appointment with The Barber's Chair in the Devonshire Mall, but when she showed up along with her partner, they denied her service. "I've had a pleasant experience at Pushers, but I had a couple recommendations to go to The Barber's Chair," she said.

Under human rights law, businesses and organizations have to avoid collecting personal information from individuals on their gender unless it is absolutely necessary," she said.
