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.

hair splitting. You're only focusing on that to try to discredit me.

You've discredited yourself. Nobody is persecuting you: you took a professional stance, people noticed it and said, "Hey, that's super shitty!" because it IS, and now you're acting like we all must have an independent grudge against you for it to all make sense.

You've twisted what I said, you're bouncing off Sophie Gonzales who made false allegations that I'm now taking up with her.

I've twisted nothing. You simply cannot get your head around the idea that the literal thing you said and are defending is what people are taking issue with.

I'm going now - I have better things to do with my time than this.
