| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Breakpoint, a daily look at an ever-changing culture through the lens of unchanging truth. |
| 0:06.0 | For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street. |
| 0:08.0 | At age 18, Chloe Cole testified against a radical California Senate bill designed to make the state a haven for minors who seek gender transition. |
| 0:19.0 | Her story is powerful. At age 12, she started to have feelings of |
| 0:23.7 | gender dysphoria. Stoked, at least in part, by the rampant misinformation that so |
| 0:28.6 | dominates social media, Chloe began to believe that girls were weak and overtly sexualized, |
| 0:34.4 | and she did not want to be one. Having concluded then that she must be transgender, |
| 0:38.6 | she reached out for professional help and was then fast-tracked into medical transition. |

| 1:27.1 | Only a few years later, Chloe began to understand the full significance of what had been done to her. No one explored, |
| 1:28.6 | she remembered, why I did not want to be a girl. And today, she continued, more and more kids are |
| 1:34.3 | falling for the same false promise of happiness if they transition. Chloe's testimony then ended |
| 1:39.5 | with a very simple statement, quote, I am the canary in the coal mine. And she is. Internet forms are |
| 1:45.8 | filling up today with stories of teens and 20-somethings that have symptoms of osteoporosis, |
