One girl’s story of ditching shampoo

Every day I faced off against lackluster tresses, while two friends couldn’t stop raving about their own glossy, sexy hair. They had recently stopped shampooing — just went cold turkey — and the results were marvelous. Both are decidedly un-crunchy, so I knew they weren’t making some hippieish statement so I figured this no-suds policy must actually be good for hair.

What did I have to lose? I tossed out my shampoo, began simply rinsing my hair in the shower every day, and waited to be dazzled by my new chemical-free, lustrous mane. The payoff was a while in coming, and I soon regretted having told everyone about my little experiment. Was it dirty, friends asked? Did it smell?

Wow. Another upcoming movie that looks super interesting… starring a trans*woman of color who is actually played by a trans*woman. That’s kind of a big deal.

Read more about Gun Hill Road on Autostraddle.

(Trigger warning: this is an intense video; the trans woman’s father expresses anti-trans sentiments.)

The Pink Triangle

* The Pink Triangle was a badge designated for gay/homosexual (male) prisoners in the Concentration Camps during World War II

—> Pink Triangle were considered the “lowest” / “most insignificant” prisoner

(Pink Triangles could be paired with other triangles, like the yellow triangle, marks a prisoner as gay and Jewish)

* It is estimated over 50,000 men were detained/sentenced to punishment for being homosexual from 1933-1945

—> Estimated 5,000 - 15,000 of those men were sent to concentration camps

—> There is no official record of how many of those prisoners would go on to perish in the camps

— The play/film BENT focuses on the Pink Triangles

*In the 1970s the Pink Triangle was adopted by the gay rights movement(s) as a symbol of solidarity and pride

—> Some people link the reclaiming of the Pink Triangle coinciding with release of THE MEN WITH THE PINK TRIANGLE (a memoir of pink triangle survivor Heinz Heger)
