      As a white person, I do not get to declare, "here is the threshold for a POC to claim ownvoices" - or, well. I can *try* to do that, like Haynes did, but it's an asshole, racist move, and if I did, I wouldn't then get to play victim when I was called on it.

      As an atheist, I do not get to declare, "here is what a Muslim author has to do to be Muslim enough for ownvoices." Same goes for any marginalisation I do not share! Those might be conversations that merit having at certain times, but when it happens? My job is not to speak.

      As a straight woman, Haynes has elected to lay down the law, in her professional capacity, as to what she thinks queer authors do or don't get to write about as ownvoices on the basis of how out (or not) they are. And as a queer person, I get to say back: fuck you, you're wrong.

      So she thinks say ... Oscar Wilde doesn't get to count as an authentic queer voice? I am sorry but no. We are also keeping Emily Dickinson too now that we can see what someone else erased. Setting standards like this is just a way to reduce the queer cannon and I will not.

      Also, a lot of us (me included) wrote our way out of the closet. Becky Albertalli is another example though I wish people hadn't hounded her into it. It's only THROUGH the art that we can imagine our futures. So miss me with this "If you've never come out you can't write a >

      >coming out story because you don't know what it's like" BS she's spouting. Ownvoices doesn't mean autobiography; it means works that authenticity reflect the experiences, hopes, dreams, and desires of a particular group.

      Her insistence that coming out in fiction ought to be harrowing is exactly why ownvoices matters. Straight people want the suffering and the homophobia when a lot of us queers want LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE (but gay).

      👆THIS Stories of queer misery are what the cishets (who are not okay) expect, because *of course* it's a miserable experience being non-cishet, because being cishet is Normal and anything else is Misery to be overcome in order to produce inspiration porn.

      I don't think people understand how much being closeted and LGBTQ+ makes you a connoisseur of miserable coming out stories. Like, mainlining them constantly for years. I have parents who love me and I still planned how quickly I could pack a bag, what I would take with me.

      my coming out story is "I told my mother I was bi when I was sixteen and know very well she heard me, only to find out in my thirties that at some point she'd completely forgotten and thought my talking about it online meant I was unhappy in marriage".

      And my mother isn't homophobic in the least! She just didn't have an understanding of why talking about being queer would be important to me if I was happy in a (straight-passing) marriage; it was just... jarring, to realise I'd been quiet about it so long that she'd forgotten.
