This is so sad. So, what you're saying is: don't expect your basic human rights to apply? Seriously, even if the advice is meant well, these are huuuuuge flags for unsafe environment of any kind or capacity.

Name a work place where you can freely express every opion you have on all topics and people, without fear of retribution from those that hold contrary opions.
Everyone wears a mask at times to fit in.
This is the social construct of compliance when you need something from others
But that's a key part isn't it .. "[..] without fear of retribution". There may be reasonable restrictions on matters directly concering another individual, but if it concerns work topics, ideas, objects, etc. one can discuss matters with factual reinforcement.
Why would I be insulted if you argue that a certain idea is problematic and you point out some good reasons to reinforce your argument? I can either agree/accept your arguments or counter or recontextualize/refine. In the end, we can choose to agree or disagree. It doesn't need to be personal or vindictive.
