Ask your gynecologist to draw a clitoris

Gynecologists say they know the clitoris. Generally, if people know anatomy, they should be able to draw it. At the very least maybe patients could give them an illustration of a clitoris and ask them to draw the nerves and vessels. This shouldn’t be hard, right?

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get the message that OB/GYNs need to learn better clitoral anatomy around to people. What’s the worst thing that would happen if patients started asking their doctors to draw the nerves onto a clitoris? The worst thing would probably be some awkwardness. Maybe they’d refuse. But the best thing that could happen is they’d realize what they don’t know.

I’ve been trying to figure out how I would start a twitter campaign. My presence on twitter is in a private, anonymous account I use to follow crypto people. How hard is it to start one of these hashtag movements? What if it was:

#askyourgyn

#learntheclit

#clitsareimportant

How does this even work?
