I too have had these "open" identity politics discussions.

I have blatantly lied.

For someone on the liberal side, these conversations mean nothing and there's literally no risk in discussing.

If you are not on that side it's a risk of career suicide to openly discuss it.

I always just thought I was an outsider but I am starting to think there are many who are just like me. I wonder how many conversations in Sillicon valley I have had where both of us were lying about our political beliefs worried the other may be liberal.
