I Stand With Trans People, Especially Trans Women

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to you today with a profound sense of introspection and a newfound understanding.

I wanted to personally thank you for the sincere criticism and candid conversations you've had concerning the identification of a dear friend of mine as a transautist. Your words echoed in her mind, compelling her to deeply reflect and question her self-perception. I also had the same thoughts upon revisiting your arguments.

In light of this reflection, I have realized that the label "transautistic" no longer resonates with my experiences. I've felt a growing alignment with the autistic community not merely as an ally, but on a more personal and intrinsic level.

With humility and respect, I want to tell you that I now identify as a self-diagnosed autistic individual. This evolution in my understanding is largely thanks to your thoughtful input and honest dialogue.

I understand the gravity of this self-identification and I am aware of the responsibility that comes with it. I'm committed to fostering understanding, promoting acceptance, and advocating for the autistic community with the respect and sincerity it deserves.

I'm deeply sorry for any confusion or discomfort my previous identification may have caused you and I am grateful for your patience and guidance throughout my journey.

Your influence has made a significant impact on my path of self-discovery, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate your input and understanding.

Thank you, once again, for being a part of my journey.

Hello, I'm happy to hear from you. I'm glad you have thought about my words to your friend and I am happy that you have come to this conclusion and I'm glad my words have not offended you.

We are all wrong sometimes and while that is hard to come to terms with, I'm happy that you have come to terms with that and grown as a person.

I believe personal growth is very important and no one should be hindered from that.

I'm happy to be a part of your journey :)

(As a side note : you should probably delete a lot of your old posts. Not everyone will take too kindly to this revelation especially with the old things on your profile as well as your likes tab being completely visible.)

i feel like tumblr NEEDS to know about Dr. Ally Louks, and the term "Olfactory Ethics"

(long post incoming)

storytime/timeline:

on november 27, 2024, an excited English Literature PhD recipient posted a picture of herself with her thesis, titled:

"Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose"

as you can see (on the bottom row, above), the tweet has been viewed over 119 MILLION times, and has received over 250k likes. unfortunately, within days (most of the replies dating december 1st), she had garnered what seems like every possible insecure man with a twitter account to post their vitriol and rage concerning the fact that a woman is clearly more well-researched than them. regardless, she tanked it ALL with kindness and with a smile:

AND I MEAN VITRIOL (queen of making boundaries clear):

(inserting reading break for the timeline's space's sake):

here's her abstract:

and in case the abstract wasn't clear, she has since (date: december 16th) taken the time to re-summarize her thesis for the layman (yes that is a link! click it! 3min read!)

she has repeatedly shown just the perfect amount of kindness and understanding for those who are simply Not Comprehending (mostly december 1st):

(the chatGPT hate in the next one is my favorite:)

has upheld an incredibly high moral standard of how she interacts with the situation (december 2nd):

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: regardless of this crap, she made it clear that as a professor, her FIRST priority at the end of the semester would be taking care of them (december 3rd)

(CAN SHE GET MORE BASEDDDDDDDDDD)

she stays both 1) educating the masses, and 2) engaging with pop culture as much as a normal person would (december 9th-17th):

she also supports a free palestine (WHO IS SURPRISED. NOT ME.) ((december 15th))

here's the BEST FREAKING THING ABOUT THIS. since this all has happened, RANDOM TWITTER USERS, UNKNOWINGLY, have REPEATEDLY proven her thesis to be true,

again,

and again,

AND AGAIN.

EVEN CARDI B DO YOU HEAR MEEEEEEEE

COMBATING MISOGYNOIR WITH HER OWN BARE HANDSSSSS

oh she knows she's mother

here's some more she never saw/commented on (INCLUDING SOME FROM TODAY. IT IS STILL GOING ON. EVERY SINGLE DAY LIKE CLOCKWORK SOMEONE POSTS SOMETHING THAT PROVES HER POINTS ABOUT OLFACTORY ETHICS):

THE WICKED MOVIE REFERENCE HELLO

apparently, OTHER academics are mad at her for being so famous and influential, but she stays unbothered (december 16th, and TODAY, december 19th):

and she's partially getting her post-doc on how people's sense of smell has been altered (december 1st):

and the best part is!

all of these screenshots i've collected are only a SAMPLE, illustrating dr. louks' indomitably kind and ethical character.

anyway. i want ALL of y'all to start saying, out loud, "olfactory ethics", or even better, "dr. louks was RIGHT" (something something women's names are erased something) every time you see something that plays into her thesis. never let her influence die. THINK THROUGH what you're REALLY saying when you comment on the smell of something, or how your perception has been shaped by society. USE THIS PHOTO IF YOU HAVE TO:

follow her on twitter (@DrAllyLouks) or bluesky (idk her handle, if someone tells me i'll edit it in)

AND SAY HER NAME!! DR. ALLY LOUKS

It's very okay to talk to me or talk at me, idc

REBLOG IF ITS OKAY TO TALK TO YOU.

Please.

I love all these headcanons 💕💕

random class 1-A headcannons

-mina makes edits of everyone in class 1a, mostly todoroki because his get the most views on tigtog (if you don't know that's the canon version of TikTok in the mha universe)

-mina, deku, and jirou are blasian

-sero is Hispanic Asian mix

-kaminari is asian American

-aizawa and present mic are dating, but they keep it a secret from the students, they're incredibly obvious with it tho but class a just pretends to not know so they can keep that sense of privacy in their relationship

-this is the same for bakugo and kirishima, they have crushes on each other but are terrible at hiding it, the only people who don't realize they have a crush on each other are themselves

-todoroki is super light, like just weighs nothing, so if given the opportunity anyone will just pick him up and carry him around, kirishima loves doing this

-todoroki doesn't even mind cus he doesn't have to walk

-he has a tendency to fall asleep on the couch so if anyone sees him they'll carry him to his room, it's basically an unspoken rule that if you see a sleeping todoroki, you must take him to his room

-todoroki thinks he's going crazy whenever he wakes up in his room but is sure that he fell asleep on the couch, he now thinks he sleep walks (he doesn't)

-uraraka does however, and this has left chaos in the dorms, she's scared the shit out of kaminari who snuck downstairs for a midnight snack, she's made tables float in the common room, etc.

-nobody knows how to prevent it so they'll just come downstairs to a mess every once in a while

-iida and bakugo both have ocd so they'll clean up the dorms together twice every week, they're surprisingly close and will just calmly talk about things while they clean up

-tokoyomi, jirou, kaminari, bakugo and momo like to play music together, uraraka and mina like to come watch them

-they have sleepovers in the common room whenever aizawa let's them, he says he has to supervise to make sure they don't get into trouble but really he just wants to hang out with them and make sure they stay safe

-aizawa loves his class but would never admit it

-on anyone's birthday, they'll have a big celebration in the dorms and have a movie night and sleepover in the common room

-bakugo tried to hide his birthday from everyone but deku "accidentally" said happy birthday in front of the whole class, they threw him a party and this was the first time bakugo actually enjoyed his birthday

-mina has a huge photo wall with polaroids that her and hagakure take, they each have their own camera and they trade pictures like Pokemon cards

-they watch a lot of try not to laugh challenges, todoroki always wins only because he doesn't understand anything and is just left confused

-if anyone wants to film a video they ask todoroki to do it, one because he holds the camera really steady, and two because they film the dumbest things and his reactions are so funny

-he just stands there watching with a mix of concern and confusion on his face

-iida is the class dad and momo is the class mom, both of them are always making sure everyone has everything they need, have their homework done, has eaten breakfast, etc.

-whenever they go to the store they keep todoroki right by them, he has a tendency to wonder off and get lost, he'll frantically text the group chat and say he doesn't know where he is, proceed to describe his surroundings, and someone (mostly iida) will come find him

-they gave up on letting him walk around on his own so they put him in the cart, todoroki doesn't mind tho

-when it comes to paying for the groceries it's always iida, Momo, kirishima and bakugo offering to pay (uraraka slowly backing away from the conversation)

-if todoroki hadn't fallen asleep in the cart he'll just silently get up and pay with endeavors credit card without anyone noticing

that's all I've got for now but feel free to add more! take care of yourselves <3
