Part of the problem (part of MY problem with this, anyway) might be that it insinuates that the experiences of marginalized people are SO different and foreign from the white/straight/male/etc default that you can't possibly grasp what it's like unless you are from that group. Like, way to make me feel like some sort of museum display or exotic zoo animal?

And ultimately... the sort of person who thinks, say, that trans people are sexual predators, isn't going to listen to this line of thought and will keep writing abusive trans people. But cis people who WANT to do the right will, and ergo won't write (or will write and won't share) for fear of being cancelled. So you end up with two types of art about trans people: by trans people (which we both know isn't likely to go mainstream) and shit stuff by bigoted authors (which will sell great and make people think we're all rapists waiting to happen).
