I was confused by the headline. I thought the salon owner was encouraging people to pet (verb) groomers (hair dressers). It's early.

Really, bigot Christine Geiger was saying:

If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman please seek services at a local pet groomer. You are not welcome at this salon. Period.

She has accused a similar Daily Mail article as incorrect when she wrote on Facebook:

Hysterical! These morons don't do their research, but they trolling my social media though.

Shortly after her accusatory post, she went back to fantasizing about Mitch McConnell being released from the hospital with big ol' knockers as opposed to in a hole.

It took me a couple reads of the headline too! It’s a garden path sentence.

[puppy joke] but don't let that distract you from how fucked up this is.
