Who measures egg whites by the ounce? It's always by the egg... 4 egg whites, 2 egg whites. Etc.

If he just said 12 ounces I would assume he is talking about weight and not volume
In the kitchen, it’s typically pretty obvious. However, I can understand the confusion with eggs.

It’s simple. 4 oz in a QP. 16 oz in a pound. 454 grams in a pound. 12 oz in a coke can. How you split the bags is up to you

I think she is right...
If you had wanted 12 fluid ounces you should have said so.
ounce = weight.
fluid ounce = volume.

ounce = weight.
fluid ounce = volume.

This wouldn't happen with the metric system.

Anyway, basically she thinks that if you put 12oz of any liquid in a measuring cup, that it will weigh the same (on a food scale) as 12oz of any other liquid
She's wrong. What you want to know is the density
Density = M/V
Some liquids can be really close to "1" which means weighing them will be more or less equal to measuring their volume. Water is a good example.

I think being in the kitchen changes things a little. In general, when someone asks for 12oz of something if it is liquid we think of volume and if a solid we think of weight. If I ask for 12oz of mails and 12 oz of oil I generally expect the nails to weighed and the oil to the measured by volume.
If I am in the kitchen and want 12oz of liquid I will normally ask for a cup and a half if I want 12 ounces of butter or meat I ask for 12 ounces.
The OP didn't specify by weight or volume so it is ambiguous but since it is closer to being liquid I would have first thought volume. However, I have a sneaking suspicion the OP weighs damn near everything he eats so, in that case, I don't think it is a huge stretch to understand his SO's confusion.

Ask her what weighs more: a pound of feathers or a pound of concrete.

While you correctly defined density, it won't help in the kitchen. Density is infinitely scalable (materials keep their density).
You also argued she is mostly right, as egg whites are close to 1 (mass ~= volume).

He specifically asked her to measure it out in a measuring cup.

Cereal lists in the fine print that it is sold "by weight, not volume"
