What Is Your Gender

By: Hairprofessor Young, Sai Kuen Li, Jack Li

Narrated by: Andrew J Sholl

Let me cut straight to it—pun intended.

This isn’t just another book about gender. It’s about the mirror, the myth, and the man who stares into it wondering, “Who the hell am I… really?”

You see, gender isn’t a checklist on a driver’s license. It’s a reflection shaped by culture, language, time—and yes, even your haircut. I’ve spent 44 years watching men walk into my salon with confusion and walk out with clarity. Because a good cut doesn’t just shape your sides—it shapes your sense of self.

Now, most men were handed a gender role before they were handed their first toy. "Be a man," they said. But no one ever taught us how. Instead, we inherited stereotypes, survival scripts, and the stress of performance—all wrapped in a buzz cut and bad cologne.

Well, not anymore.

This book is your mirror upgrade. Not the foggy one from your high school locker room—but the high-definition, soul-revealing, paradigm-popping kind. We’re not here to label. We’re here to liberate.

We’ll explore:

• Why some men wear beards to hide their fear
• Why macho doesn’t always mean masculine
• Why some of your “manliest” behaviors are just boyish insecurities in disguise

I’ll take you through real stories—from the barber chair to boardrooms, from breakups to breakthroughs—and decode how hair psychology connects directly to gender identity.

Ever wonder why a man changes his haircut right after a divorce? Or why your most successful client comes in every two weeks like clockwork? It’s not vanity—it’s reinvention. That’s gender in motion.

Every chapter is a pair of scissors for the soul—designed to cut through confusion and clip away outdated beliefs.

Whether you’re:

• A man trying to understand yourself
• A father trying to raise a better son
• A barber trying to decode your clients
• Or a salon owner trying to lead with empathy

This book will guide you, trim you, and maybe even fade your past to give you a cleaner, clearer identity.
