"I get letters... from faculty... and they say you know when I get tenure... when I'm an associate professor... when I'm a full professor... if you're a professor already, you're the most protected person in the history of the planet... it's almost impossible to provide people with enough protection so that they feel safe to speak... It is not safe to speak and it never will be. It's even less safe not to speak... Do you want to to pay the price for being who you are and stating your mode of being in the world or do you want to pay the price for being a bloody serf who enslaved him or herself? You'll just be a miserable worm at the end of about 20 years with no self-respect, no power, no ability to voice your opinions, and nothing left but resentment because everyone's against you because you've never stood up for yourself.

The truth is what redeems the world from hell and that's the truth."
