Actually, let me add on to this. FS is relatively friendly to people who Won’t Deal With This Shit. Like if you’re the sort of person who will never read about [trigger] and will Not Deal With any site where it’s posted, FS is okay for you because the triggers are marked. But if you Won’t Deal With transphobia, and there’s transphobia on FS, then you won’t post on FS. A lot of the people I’ve encountered on the Internet who Won’t Deal With transphobia are, to put it bluntly, better people than the transphobes I’ve encountered, and I would much rather have them in this community than have transphobes in this community.

I don't disagree with most of that. If this were a general fandom community, there would be different rules. But a lot of the reason why people keep secrets is because those types of thoughts aren't nice ones.

Transphobia has been the hot topic recently due to JKR, but if all secrets with bigotry in them were removed, there'd be a lot in the past removed for sexism, misogyny, racism, et cetera as well. And while probably people would not want to be friends with sexist, misogynist racists in real life, you can see why those types of thoughts or opinions would show up in secrets. Trying to equate that situation and framework to "general friendly discussion" isn't a fair comparison in my opinion.

Moving forward, I'll tag all the transphobic secrets and warn for them like all the other content warning labels.

Warning for them sounds at least like a good compromise. Thank you.

"But a lot of the reason why people keep secrets is because those types of thoughts aren't nice ones."

This. As one of the secret makers here (and one who makes secrets out of other peoples' comments though #5 isn't one of mine), I've read/made a lot of not-very-nice secrets that are probably THE reason why someone intended them to be secrets, posted anonymously, to a community designed for that exact purpose.

Am I crazy about the sentiments of racism, bigotry, etc.? Nope. But I don't police for moral content using my personal standards. Neither do I assume that every time a really nasty opinion comes up, it must be someone trolling. Maybe it is, sometimes? But I can't know that for certain. People have unpleasant, sometimes hateful opinions IRL, all the time. It's a genuine experience for them, not something made up. I don't think the community should ban those secrets just because they contain a subject that's controversial or unpleasant.

Tagging them is a great compromise, though.
