Famous detransitioner Chloe Cole erupted Sunday morning on supposed “Republican” Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine for shooting down a bill that would have banned sex-change “care” for minors.
Appearing on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends Weekend,” she accused DeWine of being “complicit” in the “sterilization and mutilation” of children.
“Parents don’t have a right to abuse their children,” she said. “This is no different from any form of abuse. This is the sterilization and mutilation of thousands of children happening within a state that is being entirely complicit in the choice to continue this.”

The amazing thing is that DeWine shot down the bill, the GOP-backed Save Adolescents from Experimentation (SAFE) Act, after having spoken to Cole just days earlier in a Zoom call.
“When I was describing every step of the treatment, and especially when I brought up how young I was during every step, having been 13 when my puberty was suppressed, when I was drawn to androgens, and that I was 15 when my breasts were surgically removed, he was visibly disturbed,” she recalled.
“He knows just how horrific this is to do to children. His decision to continue this… it’s not just a matter of pure incompetence or ignorance,” she added.
She would know because she was the victim of this sort of child abuse, as she testified to Congress about back in July.
“I used to believe that I was born the wrong body, and the adults in my life whom I trusted affirmed my belief and this caused me lifelong, irreversible harm,” she said at the time. “I speak to you today as a victim of one of the biggest medical scandals in the history of the United States of America.”

Cole went on to describe how she began to experience symptoms of gender dysphoria at the age of 12 and how her parents affirmed her feelings and took her to a doctor. She noted at this point that she doesn’t blame her parents for her misfortune — she blames the activist doctors.
“The gender specialist I was taken to see told my parents that I needed to be put on puberty-blocking drugs right away. They asked my parents a simple question: Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living transgender son? The choice was enough for my parents to let their guard down, and in retrospect, I can’t blame them,” she said.
“This is the moment that we all became victims of so-called gender-affirming care. I was fast-tracked onto puberty blockers and then testosterone. The resulting menopausal-like hot flashes made focusing on school impossible. I still get joint pains and weird pops in my back, but they were far worse when I was on the blockers,” she added.
Continuing her remarks on Fox News this Sunday, she slammed the activist doctors for the “lie” that they’d sold her parents.
“They were told that the decision was either going to be between one [of] two things, either having a very suicidal and eventually dead daughter or a living transgender son – but that is not true,” she said.
“These children are not committing suicide because they were born in the wrong body. This is an entirely psychological issue and these children are not getting the help that they need,” she added.
“They need psychiatric help. They need to know that they’re perfect in the bodies that they were born with. If he [DeWine] truly believes in his heart that perfectly healthy children can be born wrong, that they need to be corrected, I think he should be expelled from office,” she concluded.
The bill DeWine rejected would have both banned sex-change “care” for minors and also stopped so-called “transgender” students from competing against other students of the opposite biological sex.

In defense of rejecting the bill, DeWine claimed he was saving lives.
“Ultimately, I believe this is about protecting human life,” he said. “Many parents have told me that their child would not have survived, would be dead today if they had not received the treatment they received from one of Ohio’s children’s hospitals.”
“I’ve also been told by those who are now grown adults that but for this care, they would have taken their life when they were teenagers,” he continued.
He also cited medical freedom.
“Were I to sign Substitute House Bill 68 or were Substitute House Bill 68 to become law, Ohio would be saying that the State, that the government, knows what is best medically for a child rather than the two people who love that child the most, the parents,” he said.
