Let's start with the question. What is a “real" identity?

First impression: You seem to live in a country where you never encountered the power of the state yourself.

Heretic views will always be edgy until they slowly enter the sphere of collective consciousness and only then get accepted as obvious. For ideas it really doesn't matter where they originate and eminate as long as they can freely propagate and resonate.

I guess there is room for both. Even at the same time. No one is hindering you in entertaining multiple identities that serve different purposes.
