When you find a definition offensive the problem isn't the definition.

The first thing said in the argument was that neither party found the definition offensive. At least listen to the argument before commenting. Come on, man/woman/thing/person/xerson!

Otherwise you'll devolve into one of those stupid arguments where one side keeps restating the same point because its all they've got.

I watched the whole thing. The dude didn't have an argument at all and couldn't explain why the billboard was offensive.

Consider what he believed his argument was. Perhaps his argument didn't have any legs to stand on, but at least acknowledge the opposing view. It's a useful skill to have.

What he believes his argument is is that the definition is offensive because it includes the word female, but he's not saying it because he understands it's a ridiculous argument.

He explained that it reminds people within that particular area that work there, trans people, about how much they're scrutinized. So it's an argument about feelings vs reality. This is an argument that shouldn't have to be made. We can be kind and civil to one another without catering to each other's whims. It's not anyone's responsibility to provide affirmations or grant validation to another human being. If someone is incapable of doing that for themselves, it shouldn't fall on others to "fix it" for them.
