This one allways amuses me, as i live in the sussex area of the UK, with the ‘sex’ part providing much hilarity with filters 
I’ve worked at a company that, for a few hilarious hours, blacklisted its own address via a profanity filter…
(the address was part of the default footer in every email…)

Both companies suck it.
Any decent human being would disagree with them, in the strongest possible terms. If someone says they are “a [something]”, then that [something] must be a noun.

I do wonder why this word is the only one which most news outlets refuse entirely to print, despite happily printing almost every other slur when they’re recounting a story.
But an adjective becomes a noun as soon as someone identifies with it as their name.
I am sure that there are probably more than a few people who have names that are offensive words; either singularly (or “on purpose”) or as a sub-string part of their name.
I would be exceptionally uncomfortable with someone who’s name was an offensive slur; I would go out of my way to not say it aloud. But I wouldn’t deny that it is their name.
What is more common and has caused me personally some discomfort is when someone identifies themselves as a member of a group traditionally associated with a powerful slur as that slur. It’s like, I really don’t want to use that slur because I respect and honor the people in the group but I don’t want to disrespect the person who is using the slur as part of their identity…
