The title of this video is "When Your Son Wants a Sex Change." I can't remember the last time I heard someone use the older term sex change instead of the sleeker, more PC-sounding gender transition. George Carlin warned us about this years ago: the more PC the term, the longer it gets. His example was the move from shell shock to post-traumatic stress disorder, but the implications of Carlin's rant should be obvious as we go from sex change to gender transition to who-knows-what else.
