Detransitioned teen wants to hold 'gender-affirming' surgeons accountable: 'What happened to me is horrible'
MSN - Fox News ^ | 11-11-22 | Ashley Carnahan

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."

This whole gender-affirmation thing is a cash cow for doctors.

And hospitals, like Boston Children's https://www.nationalreview.com/news/boston-childrens-hospital-deletes-website-info-saying-17-year-olds-are-eligible-for-vaginal-construction-surgery/

That’s the downside of Capitalism, when profits start going away, you have to create new ways of creating profits.

I said some time ago that once the lawsuits started, there will be a flood of them. You will soon see the advertisements for law firms specializing in this area played in between the advertisements for whatever is the current “ask your doctor if ‘nuedethpills’ are right for you” wonder drug.

They were told if they didn’t succumb, that she would most certainly commit suicide. They were basically given the choice of sign off on this or your daughter is dead. They lied to the parents as well as the kids. And they make lots of money from it. This evil has to stop. Too many kids are paying a terrible, terrible price.

“distressed” with her gender and wanted to transition... Doesn’t sound like a lawsuit to me, they did what she wanted

She was only 12-years old when she was cut up, too young to really know the implications and long term results. Only six years later, at 18, has the realization really dawned on her. Both doctors and her parents are complicit in this.

From what I understand, they manipulate the parents and guilt trip them into supporting their recommendations.

I read a substack article of an interview with a parent, and how she and her child were treated was horrendous. She didn’t fall for it though. She took her child out of school, took away her phone, refused to take her child to the school-recommended “clinic” and after a year, her daughter no longer thought she was “trans”. It took guts and hard work, but being a good parent usually does.

True - the lawyers who take these cases are brave. Kudos to this lawyer for taking this case.

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

If I'm wrong one of FRs lawyers will correct me but I think the age of consent for medical procedures is 15. In this case the transition began at 13. The double double mastectomy at 15, they'll probably argue that. In fact it's probably the argument they'll make. But the treatment began at 13, in my mind that's the age of the decision which I'm sure his side will argue. The defense wouldn't want me on the jury.

Thank goodness we were raised by parents with common sense.

Genital mutilation surgery on children should never be legal.

Parents are told their children will kill themselves if the parents do not sign on to the gender-affirming path advocated by these Mengeles.

Yes! I agree with you! Of course the parents share responsibility for this, and should have stood strong against these procedures. But these efffin' DOCTORS are the ones with the gosh-danged scalpels. Ultimately they are the ones that wield the blade that chops of a child's breasts or penis. They are the ones "trusted" by our state to sign the prescriptions that alter hormones and block puberty.

These doctors should be imprisoned and sued out of practice as well as the quack team of psychiatrists that likely led the child and their parents straight down to the butchers.

I can't believe this exists in our country. This is some medieval sh*t. My trust in the medical field has completely collapsed in the last few years.

“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.”

Good. I can't wait until the day I see it.

“Our candidates need to drive the point home. “

In earlier days no one would have waited for a candidate to do something. The insanity will continue and deepen until the people get off their asses.

She got what she wanted. No Females—just worker drones to slave away in the companies until death with only a cat for companionship. The ideal American.
