1. Calling it your vagina is OK.
Yes, the word “vagina” can sound weirdly formal for something that is attached to your body, but it’s not Voldemort….
2. What you’re calling your vagina might not actually be your vagina.
At some point in human history, “vagina” somehow became a catch-all for everything between our legs (?!).
