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.

I did not say "it wouldn't count", what I said was you shouldn't be taking opportunities from others who are marginalised and I won't support people "winking" at the audience. Own the identity or don't, but don't try doing both.

How many hairs can you split? A marginalised person is not taking opportunities from other marginalised people if they're only out in certain contexts. You're acting still as though anything other than total out-ness belies the marginalisation.

Here are your actual words. Nobody is misrepresenting you: THIS IS WHAT YOU LITERALLY SAID.pic.twitter.com/LohymoOfI7

Yeah, so I'm saying, eg, those who have lucrative day jobs where they hide their identities shouldn't take opportunities from those who have FA because gatekeeping. Also, you don't get to speak for the queer community if you're not out.
