He used an example of plasma weaponry in trek as if it would be the same as a TL, I explain to him that light coming from his monitor and fire were both plasma(I think), but that doesn't mean you can through yourself in a fire cause light doesn't hurt you.
I don't think either of those are plasma, are they?

Is there? Aside from plasma making a pretty poor ranged weapon, the observed TL behaviour isn't consistent with plasma. Colour, behaviour in gravity, the bolt holding together, etc.
