Detransitioner raises concerns over health risks of sex-change surgeries for children during Supreme Court hearing

Chloe Cole, a 20-year-old detransitioner, spoke out against sex-change surgeries for children during the Supreme Court's hearing on a Tennessee law banning such treatments. She emphasized the potential impact of the case on gender treatment laws nationwide. Cole, who began transitioning at 12 and stopped at 17, shared her ongoing health issues from past treatments, including hormone therapy and surgery. She highlighted the physical and psychological pain she endures, expressing concern for other children facing similar experiences. While some argue that sex-change treatments improve mental health, Cole and other detransitioners dispute this, citing long-term health risks. She advocates for protecting children from irreversible medical decisions, urging them to embrace their natural identities.
