"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.

like!! if a closeted person is out on their anonymised twitter account? they still get to speak for the queer community! they don't start being queer only when they come out! BEING CLOSETED IS VERY MUCH PART OF THE QUEER EXPERIENCE, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT

so you're ok with someone with a lucrative day job taking opportunities away from those on, for example, the disability support pension who are trying to start a career?
-
again: the point here is *who gets to write about marginalisation*. having a successful dayjob doesn't magically erase a person's marginalisation, and they are not "stealing" a book deal, or a story publication or whatever, from some hypothetical stranger by submitting their work
