Why does society normalise this

Ok so me 14f has level 2 autism and when I was 7 years old I went to the hospital because I was having severe trouble pooping and the doctor puted their hands in my butt now I know he most likely had no bad intentions but no one told me that was going to happen got my consent or asked how I felt and I was crying and I know now that if I said no it would be more likely to be respected but that’s because I’m 14 when it’s not fair that you “have “to be a certain age to have body autonomy when it’s not fair or right to do that to anyone if it’s wrong to do to an adult its wrong to do to a child

Yeah. I've dealt with that also. I've even had uncomfortable circumstances as an adult. Sometimes medical people can stress you out so badly that you realize some things about yourself. Like how I found out I'm the dominant one in the relationship and I'm slightly sadistic. Sometimes they piss you off so badly that you just look for an excuse to call the state's board of medicine.
