Summary
“We bar kids … from being able to drink or smoke cigarettes or buy marijuana or rent a car. I’ve been traveling a lot and sometimes I can’t even get a hotel room because I’m under the age of 21. And yet, I still was able to get my breasts removed when I was 15,” says Chloe Cole.
“I fell into the delusion that I was actually a boy just living within a girl’s body,” Cole says. She began taking puberty blockers and then testosterone at age 13. She got a double mastectomy at age 15. And at age 16, she realized she had made a terrible mistake.
Cole shares her story and why she is going to sue the medical group and hospital that facilitated and advised her and her parents on her medical transition.
“They said that there was less than a one to two percent regret rate,” Cole says. “And they never brought up what might happen, what the process would look like for that to happen. I didn’t even know that it was possible until it happened to me … They said that it was really a matter of life or death if I wasn’t allowed to transition.”
