Sensitivity Reader Needed

No, not to root out the insensitive material, both overt and subtle, on this site. Rather, to go through the whole thing and point out where I'm being too sensitive, too loathe to offend. For a number of reasons, not least my other identity as an employee of an organization with a public aspect, I maintain a certain decorum here. But the truth is that almost all the greatest literature contains plenty of what we could describe as offensive. Indeed, it almost requires it. Given this, the current trend in publishing to root out anything that might offend certain "protected groups" is surely not, shall we say, a salutary one.
