Chloe Cole is a young woman who fell deep enough into radical gender ideology in her teens to begin the process of transitioning to the opposite sex. Thankfully, before too much damage was done, she realized the error she’d made.
Now, she advocates for others who have gone through what she has as well as those who are yet to make the same life-changing decision in the hopes that they don’t go down the same path.
“This is going to have to go beyond just an overall ban for the use of puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones or cross-sex surgeries in the use of children. We need to address those of us who have already been hurt by these procedures,” Cole tells Tom McGrath of “Blaze News Tonight.”
“I want to force insurance coverage for those of us who have been hurt and need treatment for the complications or for reversal of these treatments by the doctors who perform these in the first place, because in a lot of states they’re completely covering transition treatments,” she continues, “but they’re just completely ignoring those of us who have health issues from these procedures.”
“I want to get more of your personal take because we’ve seen a lot of countries with socialized medicine outlaw transgender surgery because there’s no profit for it, and we know that there is one here in the United States, but I want to know what really incentivizes a parent to go ahead and pick these surgeries for the kids?” McGrath asks.
“Most parents who are dealing with this with their children don’t actually want to have these procedures for their children in the first place, and they will push back because they know that their child is not actually transgender,” Cole answers.
“But they’re being told by these doctors, they’re being manipulated into thinking and believing that their kid is going to die without this. It’s a common tactic for these doctors and for these counselors to talk about the high suicide statistics within the transgender community,” she continues.
Cole notes that these doctors “falsely attribute it to either a lack of mentalization or a lack of social acceptance.”
Now that Cole is able to look back on her own struggle with gender dysphoria, she’s been able to understand where it began and how that made her a prime target for the LGBTQ agenda in the medical system.
“In the past, we used to follow a model for these children that was like more of a wait-and-see approach, where we would not affirm the identity, and we just wouldn’t interfere at all, and just allow the child to grow up, and most kids naturally would desist by the time they entered adulthood and finished puberty,” she explains.
“We’re not allowing these children the opportunity to just grow up anymore, like a tomboy, let’s say. Like, let’s say a girl who likes to wear her brother’s clothes and play sports,” she continues. “I was definitely a tomboy, and in some sense, I never really grew out of it.”
“But that doesn’t make me a young man. What makes me a woman is the way that God determined my biology at conception, and no surgery, no drug is ever going to change this,” she adds.

Data: U.S. Hospitals Transitioned Nearly 6,000 Kids From 2019-2023
‘Patients are being harmed by sex transition. That cannot be disputed … The medical profession has lost its way.’Instead Of Taking On The Billion-Dollar Trans Industry, The Los Angeles Times Attacks Its Victim, Chloe Cole
'Gender transition' advocates are monsters, mutilating children for money, but their former victims are finding the strength to fight back.Inside job? 9/11 victim's brother DOES NOT BELIEVE official story
September 11, 2001, was a tragic day for all Americans — and thousands lost their lives.
However, that doesn’t mean the official story can’t be questioned. And in honor of the victims, it should be scrutinized heavily.
“We live in a fake matrix of lies, and one of those lies is that 19 hijackers were able to defeat the strongest military force in the entire world and bring down three buildings with two airplanes. The story doesn’t make sense,” Alex Stein says, before listening to Matt Campbell’s story.
Campbell, whose brother tragically died in the attack on the Twin Towers, tells Stein that he also believes we haven’t been told the truth about what happened.
“My brother was 31, he worked for Reuters,” Campbell tells Stein, noting that his brother was attending a conference and wasn’t usually in the building. “It’s just one of those things, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
Campbell started questioning what happened as soon as the war in Afghanistan began — and especially when he learned that 15 of the 19 alleged hijackers were Saudi, mainly trained in the United States.
“It was a slow process, but I mean, initially, you know, for me, it was looking at intelligence failures and just the backstory to all the hijackers,” he says.
Now, Campbell is attempting to take the government to court.
“Almost all attempts at litigation around the subject of 9/11 have either failed or they’ve been settled because someone pleaded guilty,” Campbell explains.
“For me in terms of waking people up or trying to get the truth out there, for me, it’s always been to try and go down this legal route,” he tells Stein, though admits it hasn’t been easy. “It’s not easy to be constantly thinking and talking about someone’s death and their murder, and you know, in this case, the cover up.”
Campbell is also attempting to get his brother’s inquest reopened.
The inquest is held in a coroner’s court where they’re supposed to do a thorough investigation of the cause of death.
“They did absolutely no investigation, no inquiry into how my brother died, which they have to by law,” Campbell explains. “They didn’t have any evidence of the use of explosives.”
“It wasn’t placed in front of the coroner,” he adds, noting that while they’ve petitioned the attorney general twice — they’ve been denied. “We actually threatened litigation with them last year, and their case was so weak, they capitulated, withdrew that first denial.”
“It makes you sort of wonder, what are they scared of,” he adds.
“You know what they’re hiding. They don’t want to touch 9/11 because they know it is an international event and it's just going to cause more problems exposing the truth, and that’s why I appreciate you continuing to fight,” Stein says.

De-transitioner warns shareholders that Disney will pay a price for 'stealing the voices of thousands of little Ariels'
A victim of so-called "gender-affirming care" informed Disney shareholders Wednesday that the company may soon face lawsuits over its support of employees' genital mutilations. Chloe Cole, a woman left permanently scarred by gender ideology, further stressed the importance of the company looking into providing benefits for those who seek to "detransition."
The woke company
The Walt Disney Company has worked hard to earn the admiration of LGBT radicals, securing for itself a perfect score on the Human Rights Campaign Foundation's Corporate Equality Index since 2007.
The corporate behemoth has signaled its ideological compliance in various ways.
Besides throwing around its weight in an effort to dissuade lawmakers from executing the will of voters and upholding parental rights, Disney also covers travels expenses for its employees to kill their unborn children. For those children ultimately permitted to live, Disney offers "gender affirmation benefits."
Accordingly, Disney helps employees, their spouses, and their children get sex-change mutilations, elective mastectomies, and ruinous hormone therapies.
The company does so even though:
- the so-called experts at the World Professional Association for Transgender Health — the organization that wrote the go-to guide on "gender-affirming care" — have been outed admitting in private both that children cannot provide informed consent and sex-change surgeries can have nightmarish consequences;
- England's National Health Service has highlighted there is little to no evidence showing an upside to the use of puberty blockers in minors;
- Finland's leading child psychiatrist Riittakerttu Kaltiala has underscored that most kids will grow out of the delusion that their gender and sex are misaligned; and
- the core claim used by gender ideologues to justify sex-change mutilations has been utterly debunked.
The scarred patient
Chloe Cole, 19, knows firsthand just how devastating the treatments that Disney's employee benefits cover can be.
Cole told the Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine Joint Rules/Legislative Committee in 2022, "At 13, I started taking puberty blockers and testosterone. At 15, I underwent a double mastectomy in which my breasts were removed and my nipples were grafted. And yet, at 16, after years of medically transitioning, I came to realize I severely regretted my transition."
"I want to be a mother someday, and yet I can never naturally feed ... my future children. My breasts were beautiful and now they have been incinerated for nothing. Thank you, modern medicine," said Cole.
The gender ideology victim, who noted at the time that her chest remained scarred and her nipples continued to bleed, has become a patient advocate for Do No Harm. DNH represents medical professionals, patients, and policymakers keen on ridding the medical establishment of identity politics and gender ideology.
In addition to raising awareness about the fallout of "gender-affirming care," Cole has also taken legal action against Kaiser Permanente, accusing the institution and her former doctors of performing experimental and mutilating treatment.
The shareholder meeting
Cole called into Disney's annual shareholders meeting Wednesday, underscoring the consequence of the procedures they cover and the possibility there may be legal consequences on the horizon.
"Disney pays for gender transition interventions, but not de-transitioning care. Therefore, the Company discriminates based on gender identity under EEOC regulations," said Cole. "I speak from personal experience as someone who was deceived and physically harmed at a young age by gender ideology, validated by the medical industry, and pushed to the masses by corporations like Disney."
Cole detailed how, as a minor, she was given irreversible puberty blockers and a double mastectomy.
"My body has been irreversibly damaged, and years later, my chest is still in bandages," continued Cole. "My doctors have abandoned me. Now doctors look and shrug."
Cole further noted that she has filed suit against "those professionals who steered me into taking these destructive steps that have permanently scarred me."
"But Disney, in its arrogance, has responded to our proposal by stating that I am only trying to 'generate attention' for a 'limited agenda.' Mr. Iger, Disney under your watch is pushing the 'limited agenda' of gender ideology," continued Cole. "Disney has become the Ursula that is stealing the voices of thousands of little Ariels across the world by telling us we can be something that we can never become."
"The lawsuits are coming, sir. It’s only a matter of time before current or past employees, whose bodies and lives have been irreversibly harmed, will show up at your door looking for justice and restitution," added Cole.
Just got off the phone from the @Disney annual shareholders meeting.\n\nI needed to call out Bob Iger and the rest of the board\u2019s hypocrisy and the dangerous lies they feed to us through the media. \n\nHere is what I said:— (@)
The proposal
Cole concluded her call by requesting that shareholders consider the "Gender-Based Compensation Gaps and Associated Risks" proposal presented by the National Legal and Policy Center.
The proposal asks that Disney investigate its benefits policies to determine whether they are discriminatory against de-transitioners.
It specifically requests that the board of directors issue a report by Dec. 31 "about compensation and health benefit gaps, which should include how they address dysphoria and de-transitioning care across gender classifications, including associated reputational, competitive, operational and litigative risks, and risks related to recruiting and retaining diverse talent."
The NLPC indicated that the company's board of directors has opposed the proposal because it "intended to serve the particular interest of the proponent."
The board unsuccessfully sought permission from the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year to exclude the proposal from consideration at the annual meeting.
The NLPC noted in its response, filed with the SEC, that "besides the inherent discriminatory infrastructure established by Disney within its compensation policies and programs, the Company has opened the door wide to reputational and legal risk due to gender ideology and the affirmation of sex transitioning medical coverage. The de-transitioners' litigiousness may be at a trickle now, but the diversity-obsessed Company should prepare for an eventual flood of lawsuits from angry, mutilated current and former employees."
While Cole was able to put the proposal before the shareholders, the Huffington Post indicated they ultimately rejected it.

After Veto Siding With Trans Lobby, Ohio Voters Should Transition Mike DeWine Out Of Office
DeWine’s refusal to protect Ohio children from transgender insanity should disqualify him from winning office in a red state ever again.Yet another de-transitioner comes forward, suing doctors who she claims cut her up at 16 after two appointments and a single consultation: They 'affirmed that chaos into reality'
A Nebraska woman who underwent a sex-change surgery at the age of 16 is suing the medical practitioners who cut off her breasts, left her in a constant state of pain, and likely rendered her infertile.
Luka Hein's complaint, filed Wednesday in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, accuses University of Nebraska Medical Center and UNMC medical practitioners Dr. Jean Amoura, Dr. Perry Johnson, Dr. Stephan Barrientos, and therapist Megan Smith-Sallan of malpractice, alleging their "misleading descriptions and false claims" pertaining to sex-change mutilations were in violation of the state's Consumer Protection Act.
The lawsuit contends that Hein, put "on the fast track" for mastectomies at 15 years of age, ultimately had her breasts removed "when she was not old enough to understand the ramifications thereof or consent thereto" and after her "parents had been manipulated into consenting."
Prior to her delusion-affirming treatments, Luka was reportedly having suicidal thoughts and harming herself. To further compound her anxiety and confusion, Luka indicated her parents were getting a divorce and she had been "groomed online and preyed upon by an older man out of state."
According to Hein's complaint, inside an hour into her first therapy session at the UNMC Gender Clinic, her therapist "diagnosed Luka with gender identity disorder and began steering her toward transgender medical treatment with Defendant Amoura at the gender clinic."
The suit blasts UNMC and those who savaged Hein's body not only for "using surgical means to treat a mental health disorder" but for failing to "wait and see if Luka's gender dysphoria would resolve with time"; "to develop a different diagnosis"; "to warn Luka that the mental health of patients does not improve with surgery"; "to obtain a proper pre-operative mental health evaluation"; and/or "question Luka's self-diagnosis of trans-identification before amputating her breasts."
Harmeet Dhillon, the founder and CEO of the Center for American Liberty, is representing Hein in the case. Dhillon has previously represented other victims of gender ideology, including de-transitioner Chloe Cole.
Dhillon told the Daily Mail, "Coercive methods were used to coerce the family into agreeing to it, such as a false representation about the mental health fallout from not doing it. 'Your daughter will commit suicide if you don't agree to this,' was communicated to her parents."
"Doctors should not behave to vulnerable children or families in this manner, period. Doctors should not be mutilating and permanently disfiguring children, period, without some medical necessity, which did not present itself in this case," added Dhillon.
The Center for American Liberty noted, "No child should have to go through the irreversible trauma that UNMC doctors put Luka through. And if she wins her lawsuit, perhaps no child will."
Hein, originally from Minnesota, told the Daily Mail, "I was going through the darkest and most chaotic time in my life, and instead of being given the help I needed, these doctors affirmed that chaos into reality."
"I don't think kids can ever consent to having essentially full bodily functions taken away at a young age before they even know what that means," continued Hein, who is also bringing a $2,250,000 tort claim against the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska. "I was talked into medical intervention that I could not fully understand the long-term impacts and consequences of."
Besides the scars on her chest, the suit notes that the testosterone treatments Hein was subjected to over the course of four years "caused the disruption of her endocrine system, heart damage, deepening of her voice, pain in her vocal cords, joints, lumbar spine, hands, wrists, elbows, and pelvic area, as well as permanent dysregulation of her reproductive organs."
Hein is one of a growing number of victims to take legal action against the medical professionals and institutions who hacked away various parts of their bodies to remedy feelings of body dysphoria.
TheBlaze reported in March that Layla Jane took action against the Kaiser Permanente hospital system, which began giving her puberty blockers at the age of 12 and amputated her healthy breasts the next year.
Chloe Cole filed a suit against the Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals who performed, supervised, and/or advised transgender hormone therapy and surgical intervention on her between the ages of 13 and 16.

Highlights From The House Hearing On Transgenderism
Here are the highlights from the House Judiciary Committee's hearing on the horrors of adolescent transgenderism.De-transitioned teen girl sues hospital system over breast-removal surgery at age 13, lawsuit accuses doctors of 'intentional fraud' about transition
A de-transitioned teen is suing a hospital system over doctors removing her breasts when she was only 13 years old.
Layla Jane is an 18-year-old biological female who began to identify as transgender at age 11. Jane desired to transition to a male at that time. Initially, doctors at the Kaiser Permanente hospital system denied her transition hormones until she turned 16 years old. However, doctors quickly changed course and approved Jane for cross-sex hormones. At age 12, Jane was put through the "torment" of testosterone hormones and puberty blockers.
At age 13, doctors approved and carried out a double mastectomy on Jane.
Jane wrote on Twitter, "Mind boggling to me that a doctor signed off on a double mastectomy for me before I had taken a sex ed course. I barely started 8th grade, I was 13."
The letter of intent to sue accused the doctors of approving the breast-removal surgery "without performing an adequate evaluation and treatment of Layla’s extensive mental health co-morbidities."
The letter from her attorneys at LiMandri and Jonna LLP claimed that Jane suffers from anxiety, depression, pubertal struggles, body dysmorphia, and serious self-image concerns.
"These doctors also pushed Layla and her parents down this transition path engaging in intentional, malicious, and oppressive concealment of important information and false representations," the letter stated.
The lawsuit against Permanente Medical Group and Kaiser Foundation Hospitals also accused the hospital system of "intentional fraud and concealment."
The lawsuit claimed that doctors warned that Jane would have an increased risk of suicide unless she transitioned. Doctors allegedly gave Jane's parents the binary option of a "live son" or a "dead daughter."
The lawsuit is calling for unspecified financial damages related to health issues related to the transition from ages 12 to 17. The lawsuit listed Jane as suffering from permanent irreversible mutilation, an induced state of endocrine disease, an increased risk of being infertile, and will never be able to breastfeed a child.
During an appearance on Fox News with her attorney Harmeet Dhillon, Jane said, "I don't think I'm better off for the experience, and I think transition just completely added fuel to the fire that was my pre-existing conditions."
Dhillon is also representing Chloe Cole – another California teen de-transitioner who sued Kaiser Permanente hospital system last month. Cole had her breasts removed when she was only 15 years old.
Kaiser issued a statement saying that its doctors "practice compassionate, evidence-based medicine founded on sound research and best medical practices."
"When adolescent patients, with parental support, seek gender-affirming care, the patient's care team carefully evaluates their treatment options," Kaiser spokesman Marc Brown said. "The care decisions always rest with the patient and their parents, and, in every case, we respect the patients and their families' informed decisions about their personal health."
