> genital inspection

Such a weird meme, why are people so obsessed with this idea of genitals being inspected these days.

Feels a bit like the obsession with koro or fan death. Like come on, no-one wants to look at your nob or your gash, no-one is demanding this. A very silly suggestion.

It is literally a law in some US states that children have to submit to genital inspections to participate in sports.

No it isn't, that is just a meme people are repeating without thinking.
