Chloe Cole, a detransitioner, criticizes LA Times for implying that movement could harm trans children.

Detransitioner Chloe Cole is pushing back against a recent LA Times article that questioned her motives for sharing her detransitioning experience, sparking a heated debate over transgender care for minors.

The article, titled “How California teen Chloe Cole emerged as a leader of the ‘detransition’ movement — and a right-wing icon,” portrays Cole in a negative light, accusing her of trying to “erase transgender children” by speaking out about her regrets regarding transitioning as a minor.

Cole, who underwent a double mastectomy at 15, has been vocal about her detransitioning journey and has called for a ban on the same medical treatments and sex change procedures she once received. However, critics suggest that her movement could lead to higher suicide rates among the transgender community.

Despite facing backlash, Cole remains steadfast in her mission to educate the public about the potential risks of gender treatments and surgeries for minors. She has filed a lawsuit against a nationwide medical group and its doctors, accusing them of performing a “mutilating, mimicry sex change experiment” on her.

In response to the LA Times article, Cole took to social media to express her frustration, stating, “This article is insane. They heavily insinuate that by speaking about my own personal experience, it will literally kill children.”

The debate over transgender care for minors continues to be a contentious issue, with major medical organizations condemning the policies promoted by Cole. LGBTQ+ activists warn that individuals like Cole could pose a danger to vulnerable youths and are part of an organized effort by conservatives to discriminate against LGBTQ+ young people.

As the discussion around detransitioning and transgender care intensifies, Chloe Cole remains a prominent figure in the debate, advocating for more transparency and caution when it comes to medical interventions for minors.
