I don't feel that generally descriptive terms bear any weight on their own, so words like lady or proper or whatever are not derogatory or offensive at all.
We all have our personal ticks but it's just as offensive for someone to say that lady is an "ewww" word as it is when someone says another's sexual practices are "yucky" or offensive.
So, here's to hoping that folks are treated however they prefer to be treated through the holidays, 2014 and beyond.
