Making it difficult to use these words will not stop people speaking about the things they represent. People will just find new words, new ways to get around the system. Adding these words to the auto-mod list does nothing but cow to the whims of bigots and delicate snow flakes that can't stand living in a world that has things in it they don't like. A reasonable society does not move backwards on the progress of it's people. These words are not offensive, and if not for the vocal minority they would not be divisive either.
Please do not add gay, lesbian, trans, or any other harmless words to the auto-mod list. All that does is tell millions of people all over the world, that use this platform, that their existence is something to keep hidden. To keep away from others who find their existence an uncomfortable reality. We all have to find solace in the parts of life we don't like, sweeping those parts under the carpet does nothing to help anyone. It just hurts us all.
The world is more than big enough for all the things we love and all the things we don't.
