      I read the whole essay, and I do not have a publicist. If anyone from Angry Robot or my former agency ever contacted you about my books, this is the first I’ve heard of it. That you can only parse objections to your gatekeeping through the lens of imagined vendetta is telling. https://twitter.com/DarkMatterzine/status/1379050227387146243 …

      Also, without wanting to make this a numbers thing, I have a bigger social media following than you. The idea that I’d be nursing a grudge bc a person with a third my outreach isn’t giving me promo I never asked for is absurd. You’re being criticised solely bc your opinion sucks.

      Just to be sure, I decided to check my email history to see if I'd ever been in contact with @DarkMatterzine and, lo and behold, I turned up an email exchange from 2012 - begun because Nalini approached ME about participating in the Australian Women Writers' Challenge.

      This was back when I was with Ford Street Publishing, a local Melbourne indie; again, it's *possible* Paul, who runs Ford Street, reached out to Nalini for promo for my books, but if so I was unaware of it, and I've got no record of any other email contact with her.

      and your point? That makes it ok to incite a pile on while deliberately missing the entire point of my blog post?

      Replying to @DarkMatterzine

      Nobody has missed the point of your blog post, let alone intentionally. Nor was I the first person to stumble on it and react with outrage; I was about the eighth, so if you want to accuse anyone of "inciting" a pile-on, look elsewhere. You're being criticised legitimately.

      This, right here? THIS is what you're being criticised for: the idea that being partially out for your own safety, or out only in certain contexts, is bad. The all-or-nothing idea IS GATEKEEPING, and particularly for, say, trans folk? Being out *everywhere* IS DANGEROUS.pic.twitter.com/YjOd1Tr3YS

      Screenshot that reads: HA: “some people get killed for their identity”.

Me: I know. Queers, disabled people, women, Muslims, they get killed all the time. WHICH IS MY POINT. THEY SUFFER FOR THEIR IDENTITIES. What I explicitly and repeatedly talked about in that post was NOT people hiding their identity, living in the closet. I talked about people coming out of the closet to snatch the goodies before retreating back into the closet. You don’t get it both ways. At least, you don’t on Dark Matter Zine. As I said at the bottom of the post: THIS IS DARK MATTER ZINE’S OFFICIAL POSITION. Consenting adults elsewhere? That’s between you and the gatekeepers.

      "people coming out of the closet to snatch the goodies before retreating back into the closet" - this is about personal comfort & often survival. Nobody is obliged to be out *all the fucking time* about every aspect of their marginalisation to be able to claim #ownvoices.

          The idea that people HAVE to expose themselves to the maximum amount of suffering and vulnerability or you won't consider them valid? The subsequent revelation that you OUTED A WRITER because YOU, personally, were offended by their silence? THIS IS REALLY SHITTY.

          Given the fact that, by your own account, you lost a job because of your disability, you'd think you might be sympathetic to other people wanting to stay employed by not disclosing their disabilities to their employers, but no. You WANT people to risk being fired.
