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.

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.

"lucrative day jobs" is not a qualifier you've used before now; you're shifting the goalposts. And even then - if someone needs to hide their marginalisation to HAVE a lucrative day job, THAT DOESN'T MAKE THEM ANY LESS MARGINALISED. and closeted people are still queer, actually!

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

As I said before, many times, people can write stories that aren't their own but they should do so respectfully and with research. And if they are eg queer or disabled, they can fly under the radar in that category of author.

And as I said before, your assertion that a closeted person writing about their own experience is "writing stories that aren't their own" just because they're not out IS BIGOTED GATEKEEPING.

If someone is writing about the complete coming out of the closet process who isn't out of the closet then they're not writing an own voices story because they haven't come out of the closet fully yet.

This makes as much sense as saying that a gay virgin writing about gay sex isn't writing ownvoices because they haven't boned anyone yet. Utterly nonsensical.

ownvoices doesn't mean the writer is creating a biographical work. why is this so hard to grasp?

I've repeated myself and I've written a new post in response to Jim Hines's post. I think you're only continuing this so I'll change my position. How about you go back to ignoring me and I'll likewise ignore you?
