Probably a good idea.

But it’s fun to make people live/confront their ideas: Dude is gender neutral. Your mum is a dude? Your wife? You don’t believe dude is gender neutral at all, you just don’t want to introspect about your usage of dude.

Dude is gender neutral because we used it as such. We used he/him as gender neutral you believe he/him is gender neutral? You don’t believe that he/him is gender neutral, you just don’t want to introspect about your usage of dude.

Not you specifically, just examples.
