I remember when I used to go for yearly checkup with my aunt and her daughter who was about same age as me. The female pediatrician would always make me take everything off (even underwear) while she did my checkups but for my cousin she never made her take anything off except shoes and her sweater if she was wearing one. Could this count as discrimination?

I just found that someone on r/parenting posted a similar thing few years ago

Yes female pediatricians are terrible to vulnerable boys esp without a dad or mom. There is no reason to periodically check under the underwear unless you have a specific complaint. Because they are doctors they get away with it. Imagine if the genders were reversed. Yes women like to do that to boys because it makes them feel empowered over a man. How old were you?
