NAYRT but privilege in the writing world comes from knowing the right people in the right parts of the business and also having an 'in the moment' marketable idea (at least until you're established.

Someone who did or didn't experience whatever they're writing about doesn't guarantee they have privilege as a writer, so this whole secret is kind of weird.

While 'own voice' stories should definitely happen more than they do (any kind of voice, POC, LGBT+, disabilities of any kind, etc), that doesn't mean no one else can write those things if it's done respectfully.

I'm not agreeing with the secret in toto, but it doesn't seem unreasonable to say that there's a significant overlap between (a) the kind of privilege that results in being much less likely to experience many kinds of harrowing traumatic experiences and (b) the kind of privilege that leads you to have greater odds of success in publishing.
