We do, but language has a lot of power and if we cede these terms to abusive redefinition, that won't make it any easier to be taken seriously, communicate clearly with other people, or do advocacy that's effective. It's just a giant PITA that we have to also be concerned about this in addition to the things you mentioned. All of it sucks.
