Virginity Testing

Lately I've been learning more about my body via YouTube videos like the ones by Mama Doctor Jones (a great, informative channel). It's sad that I even have to learn about my body online instead of in school, but that's not the topic of this post. The topic of this post is virginity testing.

Some things I've learned in her videos is that the hymen has nothing to do with sex and whether or not someone is a virgin. In fact, she even says that there is no medical way for doctors to tell if someone is a virgin or not! Virginity testing is still legal in America, and it shouldn't be. It's just another way for people to shame women and control their bodies. I will write more about this later, but just be aware that this is a real problem all around the world, and this is a form of misogyny.
