The politically correct term CSAM is to differentiate it from ordinary porn which is legal and at least somewhat socially acceptable and ensure that people understand that when children are involved, it is always abusive. The terms mean the same thing, but being precise with language is important.

I think most people understand it, but even referring to it as a type of "porn" normalizes it to some extent.

Uh. No it doesn't. This sounds wildly delusional.
