I don't remember getting my genitals looked at in regular exams when I was young. Regardless of that, these are NOT health exams--they are to inspect the genitals of the child. That is extreme as fuck. These genital inspections are discriminatory, as boys do not have to submit to them. How anyone could accept this, let alone vote for it, is absolutely insane.

    Fair enough, I didn't realize the inseam comment and the original one comparing these proposed genital exams to a hernia check were from a Friends episode. For a minute it seemed like people were equating physical health checks for sports to these genital exams.

    It's really disgusting to see so many people on here excusing this vile invasion of girls' privacy. These genital exams have absolutely nothing to do with health; they are only to confirm the sex of the child. They are transphobic, creepy, and discriminatory. Boys will not be subjected to the same type of genital exam.
