When being PC is probably inappropriate:
If the individual's condition is one which is completely voluntary by them, or if a permanent change was one made by elective choice and not medical necessity.
Some people don't like your job, OP. A lot of people don't like your line of work. I'm sure you're totally aware of that. I'm sure you were totally aware of that when you started in that line of work, too. Bummer for you. Do something else for work if you don't like it? You're not entitled to claim social injustice for something that you're choosing. Sorry.
Just because someone has chosen some sort of status, career, or other attribute rather than being born/forced into it doesn't mean political correctness goes out the window, especially when "political correctness" these days pretty much just means "not being an asshole."
These's no good reason for anyone to have a strong disdain against sex workers as a whole. The OP doesn't just have to accept a negative stigma around her career or find a new line of work. There were times when female doctors were a thing of disdain. Should we have told them to deal with it or find a new career?
(Though, it's a moot point, because calling a prostitute a prostitute is politically correct regardless and not indicative of any stigma. That's not to say that there isn't a stigma, just that the word "prostitute" is in no way a part of it or a symptom of it. Sorry, OP.)
