I agree with you. It's a bit frustrating though, when moving towards language that doesn't harm any other groups of people, I lose so much of the color and succinctness of the language I was previously using; I find that I'm limited to saying minor variations of, "I feel negatively about that because of reasons (that cannot be succinctly said and make me sound like I care more about hearing myself talk than my audience's ability to listen)."
