Pushing hard would be to educate through PSA's and the schools, but to ticket a person for saying some one is a man who has male genitalia is just an overreach. The gistappo was out moded after the NAZI defeat, or so we thought.
As far as an attack, if the guy actually attacked someone as in hitting, then should be ticketed and jailed. If name calling as in taunting is public disturbance, a brutal form of harassament, then should be fined. If just a philosophical argument, then an overreach.
But yes, people should be protected from physical and mental abuse.
