1) you're a human being still
2) you're talking to still other human beings, most of whom are unfamiliar
with new terminology, especially pointless new terminology
3) posthuman beings either never spoke human languages, or rapidly stop
using languages and concepts as they radiate away from the founder
species
This considered, especially 2), seem to suggest to stick to vanilla human
language. (For time being; for most of us, with the possible exception
of gargoyles).
