Anyway, just to add. In the same way I don't feel very comfortable writing, say, trans characters because I don't have that experience either. Or writing, IDK, Italian characters because I'm not Italian either. If I do that I'll at least do my research, talk to Italians and try to figure out and all that, because I don't want to write something that is more fetichistic than comfortable or relatable for those groups of people. And some writers are like this. I hope this made sense.

"And some writers are like this."

Then they're shitty writers if they can't write any characters that aren't exactly like them.

Seriously, gay/trans/Italian/whatever people aren't some other species. They're people who have the same sorts of feelings that you do, and the fact that you think that even trying to write a character who isn't like you would be "fetishistic" says a whole lot about you and how you view other people.

AYRT

And I think shitty writers are the ones who write about other people's experiences from their own outsider Point of View and don't bother to do their research properly, because I am Other in many situations and I've seen it happen and felt offended far too many times to count.

Go figure.
