well i don't disagree with your first paragraph at all, and honestly, that's true of some legit reviewers too. and while I think feelings are fine for reviews (i think you can get good information ), i dislike when people pretend their thoughts are grounded in some understanding.

I also don't disagree with the understanding that where the theory requires certain identities, not having that identity blows the theory. but i don't think "this sounds straight" does.

I don't think "this sounds straight" is a valid criticism once you know the author isn't, unless you grew up in an incredibly open and accepting place where it was safe to be out from a very early age (which is itself a marker of privilege)

There are still valid life-or-death reasons right here in the US to stay closeted for safety, in some circumstances.

And the markers of passing-as-straight when you're scared are, again, like I said, very different depending on where you are, when you are, and who you are.

well like I said, I don't think "that sounds straight" actually depends on the straightness of the author. like I said, it's very much a comment on social narrative that people can put into their book regardless of sexuality. and like I said, it doesn't force anyone to come out since it can be refuted like any other criticism on content, by coming at it from it's application to the text.
