I edited nothing, I copied what was there straight from ballotpedia.
Women dont generally get their first pap smear until 21. Unless there is an issue that needs inspection girls dont generally have to go through genital inspections.
I guess you didn’t play in sports as a kid? Or maybe somewhere other than the US. Or, frankly, maybe it varies from practitioner to practitioner, I don’t really know.
Growing up I was required to get annual physicals in order to play. That included a very brief genital inspection. My point is these are not some barbaric molestation of kids. It’s routine in many hospitals around the world.
Cutting out a very relevant piece of near by context in an otherwise well formatted quote is in fact editing something out. It wasn’t 3 pages over or irrelevant, it was in the same paragraph you edited.
I had to go back to the article to see what you are on about. Of course its being done by medical providers. I didnt leave that out on purpose, I’ll concede that some people might find that relevant, and it wasnt my intention to “hide” it.
I did in fact play sports as a kid. I was assigned female at birth and never had genital inspections. The only time a doctor got anywhere near my vagina was when i was old enough to start seeing a gyno a and get a pap smear when i was in college.
