The answer

What was mentioned by Al-Nawawi is correct regarding what exits from a woman's private parts. If she is a virgin, what is considered is the protrusion of the discharge to outside the vulva. As for a non-virgin, what is considered is its protrusion to the place she is required to wash during and ' (ablution for relieving oneself), which is what becomes visible when she squats for her needs. The difference between them is that the inside of a virgin's vulva is considered an inner part, so she is not required to perform ghusl until semen exits from it. As for a non-virgin, she is required to perform ghusl if semen reaches the inside of her vulva, because it is considered an outer part.
