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.
