Chloe Cole, a passionate advocate and former transgender individual, brought an emotional intensity to her conversation with Tony Katz at CPAC 2025 in Washington, D.C. Cole, now a leading voice in the debate over gender-affirming care for minors, opened up about her own painful experience of transitioning as a child and her subsequent detransition as a teen.
During the interview, Cole recounted how her transition began at just 12 years old with puberty blockers.
By 15, she was on testosterone and underwent a double mastectomy, a life-altering surgery she now deeply regrets.
At 16, Cole made the profound decision to detransition, returning to her female identity.
Fighting through tears, she described the physical and emotional toll of these irreversible interventions, expressing her pain over the long-term impact they have had on her body and psyche.
Cole’s vulnerability during the interview was matched by her determination to use her story as a warning.
Since detransitioning, she has become a committed activist, sharing her experiences to raise awareness about the risks of medical interventions for minors facing gender dysphoria.
Her advocacy work has taken her across the country, testifying before state legislatures and speaking to policymakers about the need for safeguards to protect children from making irreversible medical decisions too early.
Her voice has become a rallying point in the growing debate over the controversial topic, resonating with lawmakers and citizens alike.
Through her testimony and public engagements, Cole aims to shine a spotlight on what she believes is an overreach in medical practices that can leave young individuals regretting life-changing decisions.
