The best way to push back against that kind of linguistic mutilation is mocking it by taking it to extremes. Like if a woke person says "fat" or even "plus sized" be like "woah woah you mean gravitationally challenged."
Also, somewhat related, my buddy is getting a masters in education and frequently tells me about the crazy woke shit he encounters. The craziest linguistic manipulation I've ever heard is probably when he told me they would say someone has "exceptionalities" instead of "disabilities."
