On the evening of November 13th, the non-profit organization “Turning Point USA” held a lecture at San Jose State University focusing on the irreversible harm caused to children by transgender agendas. They invited former transgender individual Chloe Cole to share her personal experience.
Chloe realized she was transgender at the age of 12 and came out to her parents at 13. She started hormone blockers and testosterone therapy at 13 and underwent double mastectomy at 15, only to regret her decisions within a year when she was just 16.
During her speech, she emphasized that transitioning does not always bring true happiness and can exacerbate mental and physical suffering. She criticized the transgender promotion targeted at children, believing it ruins their health and precious childhood. She hoped her story would be heard to prevent similar things from happening to other children.
Chloe Cole pointed out the significant cultural differences between modern times and previous generations, highlighting the selfishness, pleasure-seeking, and chaos dominating today’s culture. The lack of firm beliefs and pillars in current society leads young people astray, unable to find the true meaning of life.
In her speech, Chloe mentioned the real pain of gender dysphoria, often associated with depression, anxiety, or personality disorders, closely linked to childhood trauma, sexual abuse, or mistreatment experiences. These hardships make individuals feel lost, longing to reshape their identity and life purpose. Transgender communities on campuses or online provide unprecedented comfort and sense of belonging to them.
Unfortunately, today’s medical system ignores parents’ opinions and pushes children towards transitioning. Doctors, therapists, and community counselors pressured Chloe’s parents with lies and manipulation, forcing them to accept her transition.
Chloe revealed the extremely difficult recovery process post-transition surgery, causing not only physical exhaustion but also psychological pain surpassing physical discomfort. The surgeries were glamorized, failing to mention potential regrets or pains, with parents assured the absence of such issues. Only after irreversible surgeries did people realize the truth and choose to halt the transformation.
Initially believing transitioning would bring happiness, Chloe soon discovered it was only brief satisfaction. She expressed feeling betrayed by doctors and the entire healthcare system, unable to fully consent to losing healthy organs, puberty development, and future fertility as a minor.
The deep pain within Chloe, whether from transitioning or subsequent regrets, remained unavoidable. She transformed her trauma into meaningful actions by sharing her cautionary tale everywhere.
Chloe found solace in her faith, thanking Christians for their unconditional acceptance and support, which made her feel belonging and helped her awaken. She overcame the constraints of subjective reality, embracing a more liberated and vibrant life after releasing her self-centeredness.
After Chloe’s lecture, enthusiastic audience members lined up for questions, thanking her for her sharing. Two Chinese women stood out, with one inviting Chloe to speak at a Chinese church she was familiar with while another, Mrs. Hao Chenxi, opened up about her current situation.
Mrs. Hao expressed her distress as her only child recently identified as transgender without her knowledge, undergoing “gender conversion” in 6th grade this year. She felt heartbroken when her daughter labeled her as a “trans-phobic” upon revelation.
Upon discovering this, Mrs. Hao was devastated, feeling like her world was collapsing. Her extensive research online revealed overwhelming support for transgender viewpoints, with scarce alternative voices.
She appreciated Chloe’s courageous voice, feeling less isolated in the darkness after finding this community and hoped her daughter would hear Chloe’s story.
On the same day, a social worker visited Mrs. Hao’s daughter at home, supporting her gender identity and insisted that “you know yourself best,” leaving Mrs. Hao feeling helpless. Despite transferring her daughter to a private school, she faced reports from teachers for not affirming her daughter’s gender identity, deemed as “violence.”
Mrs. Hao deeply loves her daughter but feels lost on how to help her. She tries different approaches to communicate with her daughter, aiming to make her understand that parents love and support her unconditionally. Mrs. Hao seeks a suitable counselor to help her daughter explore issues related to identity.
