I have the opinion that bigotry, in all its forms, should be stamped out to the fullest extent you can reasonably achieve, wherever you come across it.

I don't believe this to be a controversial opinion, but I'd be keen to know your thoughts on if holding such an opinion makes someone unable to neutrally approach certain topics/situations — for example, being able to take a neutral, "policy based" response to allegations of transphobia against a Wikipedia editor.

It's been a long time since I was involved in Wikipedia, but in the period I was there having an opinion wasn't counted against you.

Also unlike some in the press, Wikipedia doesn't seek to give equal time to all opinions. If you want to promote religion or creationism or anti-vaccination or the notion that global warming is caused by sunspots, you'll not thrive as an editor.
