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.

No. I'm saying that if you want to hide the fact of your disability, don't then use that disability for personal gain on the rare occasion you think it will benefit you. Don't have it both ways. I said that at the beginning and consistently throughout.

Yes, you said it consistently AND THIS IS WHAT PEOPLE ARE OBJECTING TO. You cannot seem to comprehend that the core of your point, correctly identified, is what people are saying sucks. Because it DOES suck.

What you're saying is, "if revealing your marginalisation might cost you work or social opportunities in some contexts or cause you to risk violence, so you don't share it everywhere, you are NOT allowed to write about for money." Why? What's the sense in that?

I did not say that. I specifically and explicitly did not say that. If you look at the original post and at my follow up, I explicitly stated that people can write identities they don't own but they must do research and write respectfully.

Yes, you did. You said that if POC ever passed as white, if Muslims ever passed as not Muslim, then they're not ownvoices; your line in the sand was that people be out at all times, in all contexts, or it wouldn't count.

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.

I'm not "acting". I made a policy decision and wrote about it. And now I find that the person whose behaviour prompted that post has lied on twitter giving "context" that didn't exist.

At this point, I think it's rich of you to claim that anyone has lied about their interactions with you when, very demonstrably, your first reaction to criticism is to try and twist the motives and words of your interlocutor to make yourself seem persecuted.

You who claim no publicist has ever contacted me on your behalf, who twist my words, who just wants to lambaste me for your audience... Yeah, fuck this. I'm out.

I said if a publicist HAD contacted you, I didn't know about it, and that Ford Street, when I worked with them, didn't have a designated publicist.
