Calling someone ugly implies that their worth as a person is tied to how closely their appearance alligns with traditional views of attractiveness in Western society. That degrades all people.
Is that a bigger deal than implying that women aren't as good at hockey as NHL players? On the surface, it seems like it is, but as someone who isn't all that ugly and isn't at all a woman, it's not really my place to say.
