Well exactly. Anything can be used as an insult if you stick a derogatory word after it.
The fuss being made about it is what's marginalising people, not the words themselves.
But, I imagine offence is automatically taken by a lot of people in regards to this topic, so they will automatically find offence by anything to do with it.
