Why it’s important to speak up but while that’s easy to say people don’t want to lose jobs. I think things can be turned if we do the right things but it will be tough.
"The weight of this sad time we must obey.
Say what we think, not what we ought to say."
All kidding aside, I bet it's far less dangerous than people think it is. We hear the horror stories, not of all the people who say reasonable, rational thinks and don't get fired for it.
I can see that. Definitely a pick your battles situation. My company pushes DIE big time and they have voluntary discussions. I wonder if they could handle polite disagreements
Me being me, I wouldn't very polite (but I would definitely recommend that others be).
So some guy once said that "we want diversity because we want people with different life experiences".
I thought later on that I should have burst in with a question of: how do you know this 'diversity' automatically means different life experiences? Or: so... how many redheads are there, because they have had different life experiences like being bullied in school. Or: would that include people with bad body odor? They sure have different experiences?
If they ever bring up transgenderism, I'd point to my beard and ask if they would consider me female.
I've honest had it up to here with this nonsense, but the good thing is that we don't have that 'internalized racism' crap here (yet).
That hasn’t appears at my job as of yet. Hopefully it doesn’t but I have asked people to really consider the absurdity of assuming something is good simply because it is diverse

I work for myself and say what I please
That’s good. My job definitely pushes the nonsense we see everywhere so I have to be careful. Congrats on having your own business
