Of course that doesn't matter. My claim is that this is lawful, and ought to be, regardless of whether its sole purpose is to mindlessly offend.

Yes I agree the moral question is harder. But you gave a strong answer easily 'it is a very bad way to behave' 'it is being done for no good reason' 'it is being done to offend', which are not necessary for your conclusion and which misread the context.
And the thing is if its not OK make this statement of fact on a sticker because someone will be offended, is it OK to say it in a hospital ward, communal changing, a dormitory, a women's refuge etc...or must the whole world bend to avoid giving offence to one group?

What if we say it is not intended to offend but rather defend We are defending our right to the one word that distinguishes us from Men-who are biologically adult males It's the scientific language that defines which half of the binary we are, there is no other word that does.

All of which is fine. My thread is about what the threshold of criminalisation ought to be.
