Be reassured -- no one's going to detach your balls if you write in the style of, um, the negation of an emasculated husk. Just be aware of the forseeable consequences of choosing that style (or any strongly identified style): people who do not identify with you will have a barrier to get over to understand what you want to say.

And don't be surprised if, as a result, said people conclude from your choice of style that you're not interested in communicating with them in particular.
