As my math teacher in high school would say "It's not offensive if it's true". But the tone in which it is said, that is offensive. And that's an important distinction to make. If you're insulted/offended by fact, then your life will be tough. But if it takes intent to insult/offend you, then you're what I personally like to call an emotionally stable individual. Perhaps even "mature". For example: I'm short. It's just a fact. I am male and my height is exactly the world average for an adult woman (162cm). There's no skirting around that fact, I'm just short. Now, I could get offended every time this comes up in conversation, or every time someone makes a joke, but what's the point? It serves no purpose. Oh boo hoo, that guy said I'm short. Big whoop. But if you say I'm short with intent to insult me. Then we have a problem. Not a big one though, I'm pretty small.
