I'm obviously not listening in on every private conversation, but my kids have shown me group texts of kids chatting with kids in private and they don't let other kids get away with exclusionary language. They still curse with the same sort of f-bombs and such that have been used forever.
Ironically, the biggest rebellion language I see is an inordinate number of kids who opt for gender neutral pronouns (they/them). It's not really an expression of being nonbinary as much as it's a statement that they don't want to be told or expected to be a certain way and they'll pick a gender and orientation on their terms when they're good and ready.
