Two teen girls who once identified as transgender — and went so far as to take hormones and undergo gender surgery — spoke out Tuesday in favor of a Louisiana bill that would ban sex change surgeries for minors in the state.
The remarks from both girls came in testimony before the Louisiana House Health and Welfare Committee amid discussions on House Bill 463, which would prohibit “certain procedures to alter the sex of a minor child.”
“Today is special because it marks the one-year anniversary of me speaking out on my experiences of enduring the worst medical scandal in American history,” said Chloe Cole, 18. “What is so scary about a de-transitioner? Is it the fact that we lend proof to the idea that gender-affirming care is a complete scam? Is it because it makes it harder to ignore institutionally-backed medical abuse carried out on children? Can you no longer turn a blind eye to it in favor of the medical lobbyists that stand between you and your moral compass?”
