      I genuinely feel like I'm hallucinating. This is a screencap from @DarkMatterzine's reply to @jimchines's blog, as posted on her twitter. "Oh, about people getting killed for their identity? Here is a COMPLETELY UNRELATED POINT. Check AND mate!" I'm just. What EVEN.pic.twitter.com/asW2ftFkVz

      Screenshot that reads: Also. That bit about "some people get killed for their identity"?:

You will note that I didn't say someone can't write an identity with which they don't identify. If you look through other posts I've written, like the series in response to the Lionel Shriver controversy, I explicitly stated that, when writing a voice you don't identify with, do your research and write respectfully. One such review I wrote is here where  talk about the author having done her research. I also interviewed her here. Zana Fraillon is another author who does her research and writes voices with which she doesn't identify. I love and adore her work as you can see  by my reviews of her books and interviews with her.

      ...oh my god. Does she think we're talking about people getting killed for their identities as a reason for people to write respectfully about them, and not because THIS IS WHY SOME PEOPLE AREN'T OUT ALL THE FUCKING TIME ABOUT THEIR MARGINALISATION, LIKE SHE INSISTS THEY BE? IM

      I just went and double-checked @jimchines's blog to see if this point was in any way ambiguous, and it's REALLY GODDAMN CLEAR what he - and the rest of us! - have been talking about. Proof:pic.twitter.com/uSknOYpbqw

      Screenshot that reads: That's a relatively light example. Haynes also claims that if you're white-passing or straight-passing, you don't get the "full... violent experience" of the identity you're claiming.
As if there's only one universal full experience.
As if persecution and violence are prerequisites for being queer or non-white or disabled.
As if "passing" is a whim, like deciding whether or not to wear a windbreaker when taking the dogs for a walk this afternoon.
People are killed every day for being LGBTQIA. There are places where coming out as queer will get you arrested and killed. 
Let's say someone chooses to keep their sexuality a secret, because they have a personal preference for not being murdered. Let's say that person writes a book about being queer. They publish under a pseudonym (see: preference for not being murdered). Are you honestly going to tell me that book isn't "Own Voices" because the author isn't claiming the identity "all the damned time"?
