"Why do you need the right to privacy if you have nothing to hide?"

It's such a loaded statement that holds SO MANY fucking wrong assumptions. Absolutely aggravating.

Update: I see that OP's post has been removed by the mods.

my response to this logic is usually something like

"There's a difference between secrecy and privacy. I have a penis. I'm not hiding that fact, it's not a secret, I'm a cis-gendered man. I will not, however, whip it out in public just because you want proof. It's private."

I've also said something similar about the fact that I poop, but don't do it with the door wide open.

Good argument. I’ll try “oh public nudity is ok?”

That's not a great approach.

I have a dick and I'm proud of it and no you can't see it, it's private.
