Teenager Chloe Cole started on puberty blockers and testosterone at 13, underwent a double mastectomy at 15 and detransitioned from male to female at 16.
Cole said Thursday on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" that doctors pushed transitioning as the way to treat her gender dysphoria.
She was 12 when she told her parents she was "distressed" with her gender and wanted to transition from female to male.
"They were concerned, and they wanted what was best for me, but they weren’t really sure what to do with me, so they sought professional help, and from then on, I was basically referred [to] in my gender identity without any questioning from any medical professionals, and they pushed transitioning as the way to treat gender dysphoria," she said.
Cole told host Tucker Carlson she is "devastated" at the loss of her breasts and has trouble coping.
"As an adult, I will never be able to breast-feed whatever children I will have. I don’t even know if, because I was put on puberty blockers and testosterone at only 13 years old, I don’t know if I’ll be able to conceive a child naturally," she said. "I made an adult decision as a child."
The teenager said she is suing the doctors who performed the "gender-affirming" surgery because she wants to end the practice. "I want to hold the adults that put me in harm’s way accountable because what happened to me is horrible, but it also didn’t only happen to me, that’s the worst part. It’s happening to children all over the U.S., all over the West, and it’s spreading all over the world," she said.
"I want to be able to create a precedent for other people who have been in my situation to find justice themselves."

More likely surgeons and maybe parents sued. Damages are potentially large, there'll be plenty of lawyers circling. Nothing wrong with that.
Maybe more lawsuits aren’t filed because of the pushback. People who file these lawsuits tend to be attacked from the Left and the Right. That’s why I think she is “brave.”
the weasel surgeons will likely argue in court that it is the responsibility of the ‘transtioner’ to know that they are gettign into by researching the issue thoroughly before dicing on surgery
The problem is that the standards are so-called call for trans kids is made up by WPATH, a bunch of people really into transgenderism.
that’ll come first...
Well said. Why don't our candidates drive home that point?
Treating mental illness with surgical/chemical interventions has a long and barbaric history.
From blood-letting, to trepanning to lobotomy to metrazol to electro-shock therapy.
I am 100% sure “gender-affirming” surgery will eventually also be seen as barbaric voodoo
Doctors and politicians involved in it should be very careful about their futures.
At least some of the money comes from the Pritzker family which includes the Governor of Illinois and his cousin James “Jennifer” Pritzker.
Parents are told their children will kill themselves if the parents do not sign on to the gender-affirming path advocated by these Mengeles.
Just the beginning.
“Our experienced lawyers are accepting cases from those affected by gender modification surgery, testosterone, or puberty blockers prior to the age of consent. If you are or someone you know has been a victim of these practices, call our Law firm of Blah, Blah and Blah for a feee evaluation.”
That is very sad for your friend. He was only 14. So young... heartbreaking.
It seems to me that the ones who should especially be protesting this are other physicians. The whole thing violates the primary principle of bioethics.
I guess doctors are as wimpy as pols are.
Charles Dickens would be turning in his grave. No more workhouses and child labor, but now we’ve got something ten times worse.
“Maybe more lawsuits aren’t filed because of the pushback. People who file these lawsuits tend to be attacked from the Left and the Right. That’s why I think she is “brave.””
I read an article years ago about employees who sue their employers. I don’t remember the exact numbers but if your employee was a Democrat of anything from the left side of the spectrum your odds of being sued were dramatically higher than if he was a Republican. I’m thinking that a lawyer would evaluate whether taking a case like this, attacking some core principle of liberalism, that maybe it would severely limit your income potential. That, and possibly you’d be attacked in restaurants and find screaming mobs outside of your home. It’s the lawyer who takes the case who is being brave.
Her story is so sad. For two nights Drew Hernandez interviewed her. Doctors are to “first, do no harm”, and parents are supposed to protect their kids. A 12-year-old was betrayed by both.
The twisted, corrupt spirit of Dr. Mengele lives. That there are doctors encouraging and performing this butchery masquerading as surgery is sick.
I hope so. Try explaining it to a leftist, though, and they just won't listen.
Our candidates need to drive the point home.
That’s sad...scary and sad. I do feel for her, but parents have to stand up and demand control.....not the sick village. The village offers up sacrifices, not parents.
Medical ethics no longer exists...
This whole gender-affirmation thing is a cash cow for doctors.
