Because Nalini Haynes/DMZ apparently wants to dig that hole even deeper, she's now gonna seek "legal redress" against Sophie Gonzales because she doesn't think Sophie should've spoken on behalf of the queer community if she wasn't fully out. https://www.darkmatterzine.com/the-one-with-sophie-gonzales/ …

this is just so bizarre & queerphobic. Also do love the argument that Sophie Gonzales outed herself when Haynes very clearly does so in the 40 second intro of that podcast when she says all 3 of the authors are members of the LGBTQAI community, just wild in the worst way

All this because Haynes can't moderate a discussion to her own satisfaction??

that's certainly how Haynes seems to want to frame it, when the issue is her incredibly narrow & prescriptive definition of who can claim a marginalized identity (e.g. queerness) & how only people who adhere to her rubric are permitted call their works own voices, apparently

This is me armchair analyzing, but I suspect the bad opinions are just the background to Haynes feeling embarrassed and upset when Sophie made her pull the review/podcast, and instead of concluding it might have been HER fault for not doing enough prep work, she blamed Sophie.

Instead of going "Wow huh identity is complex, I should handle this carefully," she's just going "HOW DARE YOU HAVE IDENTITIES I CAN'T EASILY UNDERSTAND."

this does seem to be root of all of this (as well as the persistent resistance to bettering herself and expanding her knowledge base). also, did you perhaps read what kicked off this whole thing last week?https://www.darkmatterzine.com/defining-own-voices-authors-you-cant-have-it-both-ways/ …
