A Philadelphia hair stylist has filed a federal suit contending that he was fired from his salon job because hewears high heels and women's clothes and does not "conform to stereotypes regarding how males should appear and behave."
Brant, 25, is not transgender; he say's that he wears women's clothes because they better show off his feminine features. "I think if you're a masculine man and you have nice arms, then you wear a tight shirt and emphasize your arms," he said. He also says that he wore high heels when he cut hair at the Chop Shop salon on the campus of Temple University because "when you're cutting someone's hair you need to reach the top of their head."
