I must admit your article was an eye-opener as to the instruments of torture that have been used over the centuries to examine our privates. I would like to give you a little different take however. As a post op trans woman, oddly one of the things I looked forward to after I had my vaginoplasty was undergoing a full gynecological examination. My gynecologist is really gentle and I actually enjoy the process. At least I know everything is working OK and he is thorough. It is strangely affirming. I know, I’m just weird.
