It happens a few times, Uhura gets slapped when Kahn takes over the enterprise, a pregnant woman is slapped in Friday's Child and it's portrayed as the only way of getting her to accept medical care, Janice is slapped on the rear in Charlie X. Those are the ones I can remember.

There are several episodes where it’s implied or intended, namely Charlie X, The Enemy Within, and Day of the Dove. Plato’s Stepchildren, while generally not overtly sexual, has some undertones that could possibly be triggering as well.

They keep talking about how a teenage girl is becoming a woman, discussing a disease that affects people as soon as they hit puberty. She has a crush on Captain Kirk. It was kind of uncomfortable with the way they talk about her/Kirk talks to her. Not too sinister but made me raise a brow so mentioning it here.

Also s1e22 contains discussions surrounding eugenics, though none of the main enterprise crew agree with the practice.

There is no real-world hate speech. That said, Spock is a member of the Vulcan species and is occasionally subjected to poor treatment or bigotted remarks on the basis of his being Vulcan. Most notably, in the episode "This Side of Paradise" Kirk intentionally enrages Spock with a flurry of hateful comments about Vulcans. In the context of the episode, it is clear that these comments do not reflect Kirk's genuine opinions about Spock or about Vulcans.

Many episodes feature combat utilizing phasers, a kind of laser pistol. In the episode "A Piece of the Action," there is extensive violence with machine guns and pistols.
