You know another area where euphemisms are used to prettify things, discussion of abortion. Long ago being pro abortion was transformed into being pro choice.

Similarly, surgical intervention and chemical interventions performed on minors for the purposes of altering their biological sex are life affirming gender reassignment treatments. Note: I am commenting on the use of language and here am taking no policy positions. But I want to underscore the use of euphemisms to shape discussion.

If I could make a living taking off my shirt on the Internet, I'd be out of this place in a heartbeat.
