It all started innocently enough. I watched the testimony of a 19-year-old Californian, Chloe Cole, before a committee of the U.S. Congress last Thursday.
She was giving evidence about the experience she underwent in her transition to becoming a boy and it was pretty harrowing stuff.
Chloe revealed she had been given puberty blockers aged 13 and underwent a double mastectomy aged 15. Now de-transitioning, she fought back the tears as she revealed to the politicians before her that she had scars on her breast, her nipples weeped fluids, she would never be able to breastfeed, she struggled to look at herself in the mirror and when she did she saw a 'monster'.
I fought to hold back my own tears.
Why had her parents gone along with all this? The doctors prescribing the drugs and proposing the mutilation, she explained, had asked them if they wanted a 'dead daughter' or a 'live trans son'.
I decided to tweet to my 1.2 million followers an excerpt from her testimony, commenting that it was 'heart-breaking', 'barbaric' and asked: 'What have we become?'
That's when the balloon went up.
I've never commented publicly before on any of the issues swirling round the transgender debate. Readers of my columns and viewers of my TV shows will know I tend to stick to mainstream politics and economics, my areas of expertise. My tweet was a baptism of fire....

Male TERF is a pansy. I bet he sits to pee.
If women couldn’t vote, all this crap never happens.
Repeal the 19th Amendment.
TERF = “’Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist’ (meaning, I think, advocating feminist rights at the expense of trans rights).”
An anagram of TERF is FERT. A fert is a milder one, let’s say.
I assume he means he stands with them. But I agree with you, he should have actually stated it that way. 🙂
It’s the only way to be.
“The doctors prescribing the drugs and proposing the mutilation, she explained, had asked them if they wanted a ‘dead daughter’ or a ‘live trans son’.”
Cha-CHING! Doctors have slipped far from when they were respectable and admiral human beings. Now it’s all about generating revenue for themselves, the patients be damned.
I can’t keep up with the acronyms 😂
That’s a simp.
Any male who claims to side with feminists deserves the boot.
I’m against trannies. It required zero input from any feminist.
” if women couldn’t vote, this crap never happens.”
You won’t get an argument from me. My right to vote means more to me than anything, but with the lopsided feminization of government, I’d give up that right to stop all these entitled, useless twats from voting.
👍😂
Me either... LOL!
If you haven’t watched Cole’s statement before the Congressional committee, please do so. It is one of the best speeches ever given before a committee. She sums up the whole evil effort the medical community forces on these confused kids.
Well, I guess I am a simp than. Because on this one issue, I agree with them too. 🙂
