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.

It isn't intentional, and it is not addictive, but McCoy accidentally injects a psychoactive drug into himself in The City on The Edge of Forever.

In one episode, several Tribbles (little furry creatures) die from eating poisoned grain.
In another episode, a doglike alien dies.
Humanoid aliens also die in several episodes.

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.

Whipped, mental, agonizer beams, telekinesis. It isn't written to horrify, usually, but is definitely there.

The episode "What Are Little Girls Made of?" features several people being pushed off a cliff to their deaths. Also, the episode "The Alternative Factor" features a character who repeatedly falls off of cliffs but does not die from any of the falls.

Needle-like instruments are used, though no needles are shown onscreen in any detail; the doctor uses a futuristic device that seems to function like a needle to sedate a patient.

No specific antisemitism, but s2e21 contains depictions of space nazi's - with imagery and all.
Also s1e22 contains discussions surrounding eugenics, though none of the main enterprise crew agree with the practice.

The episode The Apple focuses on a planet where the people don't date, have sex, or have children, which Kirk and Bones express is "wrong" and that they need to "fix" the people of that planet. Spock argues that they should not interfere and that the people are happy, but his opinion is quickly shot down.

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.

While there are exceptions, most episodes have a happy ending, and even the ones that don't have one end happily for the Enterprise crew.

Spaceships crash, damaged/destroyed spaceships are found, and the enterprise experiences technical difficulties and fears that it may crash in several episodes. So if spaceship/starships = plane, yes.

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.
