I wonder if cisgenders aren’t qualified to create valid entertainment unless they profess, no evidence required by the looks of it, to write with a lgbt perspective—is the reverse true…can non-cisgender critics be qualified to judge cisgender entertainment and content? I’m asking for a few hundred million friends. Based the equitable application of their own requirements, it is a hard no. They can ruin publishing like they did film and drive up demand for stalwart creators who capture real universal stories for a market starving for entertainment without the moral signaling. Write what you know! If it’s from the heart another heart will feel it even if the main character prefers Chevy over Ford and The Rolling Stones over the Beatles.
What’s happening with Disney right now comes to mind. They enthusiastically alienated a huge swath of the population, now they’re trying to win that audience back. I wonder if that will happen in publishing, but I kind of doubt it. Different market forces at play.
From the business side we seem to be having a conflict over control. Let the consumer decide what's important vs telling consumer what is important. As an author/content creator I would say to get informed lest you become an unwitting participant in creating propaganda by trying to write to what is being solicited instead of what your passion is. If a publisher is willing to lose money in the pursuit of amplifying an ideological vewpoint you have to wonder where they are making their value...because it all comes back to money even if you can't see it. Someone is getting enriched financially. I prefer to know who I am enriching at least.
You won't need to pay a PR company, the Post Modernist, moral exemplars & schoolmarms will work tirelessly to create awareness. This is 21st Century organic advertising at its best.
Thank you for the correction. I didn't add a note saying I changed the piece because no one has read it yet. I simply changed it. Please let me know if there's anything else that needs correcting. And yes… criticizing you for not writing from other perspectives seems like a trap.

Highly anticipating your novel.
