Sure, though, in this case (in person conversation, friend I know well), it was clear it was a sincere, heartfelt argument rather than a tactical ploy.
If I'm stuck in arguments where I can't tell if my opponent is sincere, I tend to bow out.
Something being a heartfelt argument doesn't mean that it's not a choice that someone made. Especially in the social justice movement people do make choices about shunning specific words and developing an emotional attachment.
