Correct. And the dictionary agrees with me.
I think we both know thats not true. You guys love every opportunity to make a comment like this.

Just as using sir/ma’am is not a big deal except to the most sensitive. Still making my case.

Of course you do. 
The point is that HAVING he sir/ma’am is not a big deal, except to the most sensitive of patrons. And stupid libs call for this whole idiotic social exercise of gender camouflage for the sake of those exceptions. It’s my opinion that anyone who fight hard for this absurd vocabulary is just crit-trolling.

It’s true for me. Absolutely true for me. If your posts here serve any purpose, they represent countless sad cases out there.
Gotta say even at my age my reflexive response to being called Sir is “Don’t call me Sir, I work for a living.”***
(It’s a Navy CPO joke about officers having to be called “Sir” in case some posters don’t get it.)

But are the offenses equally offensive?

Neither is offensive. That is what is wrong.
If my posts serve any purpose here, I would hope it would expose you to alternative viewpoints that have been distorted by the fun-house mirror that is right-wing media.
Sadly that’s hard to overcome around here and so I mostly get responses of y’all (c) telling me I’m a liar and a trickster.
Too you. Offense is highly relative.

So why ask the question?
These offended adults didn’t get taught “sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”. They were pampered and given participation trophies.

It does show how distorted the extreme left view point has gotten.

Which question? Didn’t this start with you or another poster asking what word to use for non-binary in place of sir/ma’am?
These offended adults didn’t get taught “sticks and stones will break my bones but words will never hurt me”. They were pampered and given participation trophies.
This is a tired and inaccurate meme. They may have gotten some participation trophies as little kids, but they rarely do that sort of stuff with teens and older. Not to mention no generation has been insulated from bullying. Y’all (c) act like everyone born after Gen X never had to face any adversity.
How can you gauge that when most on the right are being spoon fed libs of tiktok and told that represents everyone on the left.

You act as if no one has eyes and ears of their own.

And most of what is going in those eyes and ears appears to be not in person interaction with those on the left but edited and prepared audio/video of select people on the left.

In your case, she’s correct so far
I know how much you hate hearing alternative voices.
