Chloe Cole Trashes ‘Insane’ Legal Arguments For Child Sex-Change Surgeries

 Detransitioner Chloe Cole said that the debate around child sex-change treatments and the fact that it had reached the Supreme Court in itself is “insane.”

Cole appeared on “The Ben Shapiro Show” on Tuesday and slammed child sex-change surgeries. Cole, 20, was a victim of such procedures when she underwent a double mastectomy as a teenager.

“Arguing whether it’s ethical to castrate or disfigure a gender-confused child is ridiculous enough,” she told Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro. “But, also, that we’re arguing whether it’s constitutional or not is insane.”

“I mean, when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, there is no way that they could foresee that people in the future would be using it as an excuse to perpetuate the institutional abuse of children,” she continued.

 

The Supreme Court heard arguments on Wednesday in the case over a Tennessee law that bans so-called “gender-affirming” surgeries or hormonal procedures on minors, including surgery, puberty blockers, and hormones. The Biden administration, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and several teenage plaintiffs are challenging the law on grounds that it violates the Constitution’s equal protection clause.

“It’s not discrimination at all, actually. We’re not discriminating against children of either sex or children who are trans-identifying,” Cole said. “We’re barring these treatments completely for the use of trying to transition children at all, regardless of how the child feels about it, how they identify.”

“Sure, a lot of people on the left will claim that this is a subversion of a parent’s rights and of children’s rights. But a parent, no adult has the right to harm a child. A parent’s rights end where it infringes on their child’s,” she added.

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti’s office has argued that the “Constitution does not prevent the States from regulating the practice of medicine where hot-button social issues are concerned. People who disagree with restrictions on irreversible pediatric procedures for gender transition are free to advocate for change through state elections.”

Similar bills have been enacted in more than 20 states, therefore the Supreme Court’s decision could have a wide-ranging impact on laws regulating and banning sex-change surgeries for minors.

Cole appeared outside the Supreme Court on Wednesday to rally in support of the Tennessee bill.
