      Her whole thesis is based on the idea that, if you're not willing to risk the worst that could happen if your marginalisation was always visible, it doesn't count. Hi, hello, every trans person murdered or harassed into suicide for being out WOULD LIKE A FUCKING WORD.

      I just. If you can't acknowledge that maybe, JUST MAYBE, the stakes are higher for some people and in some contexts than others, then perhaps you should consider that your comparative privilege is blinding you to some fairly fucking important truths.

      Do some people pretend to have a marginalisation in order to feign the authority to talk unquestioned about that marginalisation? Yes, sadly, they do: the whole Jupiter Wyse thing recently is proof. See also: Rachel Dolezal and her shitty successors. But they are NOT THE MAJORITY

      The majority of people who hesitate to claim a marginalisation publicly, or who try to control how public that marginalisation is? Are either trying to keep themselves safe, or worried about being appropriative of their own identities PRECISELY BC OF ATTITUDES LIKE THIS.

      the absolute GALL of a white woman saying that a mixed-race person ISN'T A REAL POC IF THEY'VE EVER PASSED FOR WHITE. WHAT THE SHITTING FUCK IS THIS RACIST NONSENSE??pic.twitter.com/u8gF4xJyQx

      Let's talk about the notion of "choice" in these instances, too, because the idea that any of us are 100% in control of how we're perceived at all times? Is not remotely based in reality.

      A light-skinned Black person does not instinctively know, at any given moment, if they're "passing" sufficiently to fool a random white person. Was that cashier extra nice because they thought they were white, or were they just friendly?

      If a trans person passes as their correct gender well enough that a transphobe mistakes them for cis, such that they feel comfortable talking about their willingness to hurt a trans person? THAT'S SCARY AS FUCK. You don't stop being trans if you stay quiet to stay safe!

      Imagine you're a baby queer writer in an unsafe household, and you read this article saying that you can't claim to be queer online unless you're prepared to come out to the parents who might hurt you, disown you or both if they knew the truth.

      I got to 'if you're in the closet about your disability then YOU'RE (probably) NOT DISABLED', and I am LIVID. I know plenty of people who don't disclose diagnoses because of fears of losing their jobs. That does not mean they are faking or that their fears are unjustified.

      Her position appears to be that, because *she* lost her job for that reason, everyone else should take the same risk. (Though she’s got such a well-established track record of being a raging asshole that at this point it’s hard not to think her behaviour was also a factor.)
