But how many OBGYN’s can absolutely tell the difference between a vagina and a surgically altered penis and are afraid to say anything because of getting fired for “discrimination” or canceled in their field for “transphobia?”

Exactly. It's like the concept that people lie all the time never occurs to them. 'My aunt is an OB and she says ballginas look super real'. Right. As if her job wouldn't be in jeopardy if she said otherwise. She's likely seen people around her get doxxed and fired for admitting their true feelings, and doesn't know who around her is just waiting for her to slip up and use that as an excuse to ruin her livelihood.

Full disclosure. I’m not a gynecologist.

There are subs on Reddit for trans people to show off their surgical results. (I think the one I spent the most time perusing was TransSurgeries.) These are where they go to post the results of which they’re proud. I spent a couple of hours going through these one day so I probably saw a few hundred bottom surgeries. All but two of the neovaginas were very obviously not vaginas. (They would be very obviously not vaginas if you encountered them irl because, even if they can pass in one photo, they literally don’t have the parts to smell, feel, or taste like a vagina.) All of the neopenises were clearly not dicks.

If I, a regular person who just so happens to have actually seen genitals, can tell that things aren’t real from a photo, I am confident medical professionals are capable of it.

What kind of gynecologist have you been seeing?

You got me. I was thinking more of what encountering a vagina is in my life, but that definitely does sound weird.
