Yep, that's kind of the crux of it.

My view is that there are two options: you put it all out there and allow certain people to be offended by what offends them, OR you start to redact and censor things piecemeal, trying to cast a broad net over what affects a much smaller percentage. But whenever a new offended voice pops up, a new net must be employed, until all that's left is literature that consists of conjunctions and prepositions. I rather prefer the former option.
