'I THOUGHT I WAS TRANS, BUT I was wrong!': EX-TRANS GIRL Cole explains why gender care ban is imp

Chloe Cole, a detransitioner who began medically transitioning as a child, delivered an emotional testimony at the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing. Cole told lawmakers that she began identifying as a boy at age 12, underwent medical interventions as a minor, and later chose to detransition. Now 21, she argues that children and teenagers are too young to fully understand the lifelong consequences of gender transition procedures and believes such treatments for minors should be prohibited.
