A California teen girl who once identified as transgender and took
hormones and underwent surgery to affirm such an identity spoke out in
favor of a Florida rule blocking Medicaid funds from paying for medical interventions for gender dysphoria.

"I really didn’t understand all of the ramifications of any of the
medical decisions that I was making," Chloe Cole, 17, said at a public
hearing Friday. She said she was medically transitioned from ages 13 to
16, taking so-called puberty-blocking drugs and testosterone, and
undergoing surgery to remove her breasts at age 15. "I was unknowingly physically cutting off my true self from my body, irreversibly and
painfully."

"I don’t know if I’ll be able to fully carry a child, and I might be at increased risk for certain cancers, mainly cervical cancer," Cole said
in a separate private meeting with Florida Surgeon General Joseph
Ladapo Friday, footage of which Ladapo posted on Twitter Sunday. "And
because I do not have my breasts, … I am not able to breastfeed
whatever future children I have."

"That realization, actually, was one of the biggest things that led to
me realizing that this was not the path that I should have taken," Cole
added.

It wasn't this girls fault her life was ruined, it was her parents that
ruined her life.

Why can't democrats understand that a 13 year old child can't make life changing decisions, and their parents should be prevented by federal
law from making such decisions for them.

Can you imagine allowing your daughter to have her breasts removed at
fifteen years old?

The doctor that removed that child's breasts should lose his license to practice medicine in the US.
