Why Chloe Cole Detransitioned

@@joshuataylor3550 Actually we don't have good numbers for what the actual suicide number is or what the actual de transition number is. The "studies" often quoted are small, poorly followed up, and only focus on the U.S. One study just notes when people don't respond to calls for follow up. It does not look into what happened to the don't respond category - such as death. The Cass Report. From the UK. Which is one of the more extensive and better researched suggests that for a good many children medical transition likely does not improve outcome. It is fascinating that trans people are telling you something isn't working well and you are arguing,

[@kelkabot]

Joshua, there’s no way to track those numbers in any reliable way, because there are so many issues swimming around the affliction of gender dysphoria that it’s impossible to tell what causes what. Sure, there are people out there who spin numbers and use stats to shape a certain narrative, but the best we can tell is that there’s a correlation between gender dysphoria and mental illness and suicide. Causality is much more difficult to nail down.

[@jnkelley42]

@@joshuataylor3550 Even if the trans identifying community has a higher rate of suicide we do not know if that is from transitioning or not transitioning. The high suicide rate could be from other variables. There is a notably high rate of trans identified folks with high ACES scores. And the fast track to transition means most are not getting good therapy to make sure things like trauma are being addressed. Folks with high ACES (adverse childhood events) are statistically proven to have higher rates of early death, poverty, incarceration, and the list goes on. And once again, the Cass report shows that medical transition for young children does not really improve outcome. So no, it is not reasonable to say that disaffirming trans identity causes suicide.

For those of us who actually had this condition, transgenderism, it was the worst physical torture and I would not wish it on my worst enemies. It's absolutely delusional and CRUEL to try pushing people into this condition- which will either be totally artificial because they don't legitimately have transgenderism, or will be a deeper hell by entrenching them in a disorder that did not happen naturally.

It sad that happened to that boy for speaking the truth. May he do so in love continually. Where do you live? It not the same throughout the world much less in the US. Many areas in the US are still standing well against the lgbtetc movement. It seems to me the political left and some on the right would love for people not to know this is the case. I do not know why but a large part of the wealthier areas plus many colleges and universities have fully embraced this in the US. There are people unfortunately in some areas that may go too far the other way and hate them which would be equally as wrong as embrace it. There are many locations out of the West that are still well opposed to these ideas, often too far potentially. There are many typical allies of the West who over this issue and over West's rejection of fossil fuels are starting to look more favorably towards the China and Russia bloc.

I understand the anger wholeheartedly- I used to think I was trans as well. For clarity, I am still pro-trans, but I just happened to lean into a state where I do not think transition is a necessity for me. However, attempting to criminalize transition will only make it worse. The upcoming generation is more pro-trans, and will only be enraged by the fact that you are denying people what is, in their eyes, a medical necessity. Obviously no one is gonna want peoppe to be denied medically necessary procedures, and since they do have an argument for that (regardless of how well it holds), their anger is going to very easily turn into pro-trans legislation, and if you go too far, legislation against anti-trans ideals as well (such as further hate speech laws).

My husband hit puberty a bit earlier than his peers and he had a hard time being so much bigger than everyone (he was 6' in middle school...6'3 now). His mom had to bring his birth certificate to his games because coaches on the other team would insist he was older and cheating. Our son will be 1 in a few weeks and he's off the charts in height and weight (about to grow out of 18 mo clothes). We go to the park and he still doesn't walk so he's crawling around, cruising, etc visibly bigger than many of the toddlers running around. I remember at church so many people commenting how well behaved he was at like 3/4 months old in the baby carrier then my mom was like they probably think he's 6/8 months old. I think it's hard to be different regardless but feel for Chloe who didn't have the support needed. I tell my son daily he is a precious child of God and as he was made in His Image he's perfect as he is.

My brother and I know there are certain things we will never see eye to eye on, but he also knows he can call me when he's sick or needs help and I'll be there. We try to talk about things that we share in common, and leave the rest. If there's interests/hobbies outside of her "rainbow" status, share things with her about them. Text her "thinking of you" with no strings attached. Hope some of this helps. Courage has a family support group (think of it as LBGTQ Al-Anon) that might be helpful too. I'm part of their Slack group.

So.. I’m ex trans… I lived 2 years as a woman and was on hormones… I realized I made a horrible mistake. I ruined my body… I ruined relationships with friends and family… I’m now looking into suing my former doctor… since re embracing my manhood I embraced being an Orthodox Jew and I couldn’t be happier.

[@LoudandClearChastity]

Chloe is honest enough to admit she made a huge mistake. Will it cut through all the hype and BS? Her parents aren't totally to blame. They were out of their depth. Chloe had too many different therapists who lost the thread of her feedback, the psychological profile that she was trying to present to them. The therapists weren't successful in unravelling Chloe's self deception. The therapists, her family and doctors were too eager to "please" Chloe, to support the false narrative from all quarters: media, LGBTQ community, school, peer group, medical profession. Difficult to resist that onslaught.

[@thespiritualgangsterspodca5232]

Wow just a few minutes in and I never thought that the "Kardashian effect" would have that impact on a young girl...I am about ten years older than Chloe and grew up hating my curvy body because the Kate Mosses of the world ruled the media at the time...I never would have thought that seeing a Kardashian figure as trendy in media would make other women feel like they don't measure up somehow. If she had grown up in my era she would have felt so differently about herself, and vice versa for me. Constant attacks on the female body in all its shapes and forms. Truly the devil hates us. Look forward to hearing the rest!!

[@mistybrass3719]

Good point. I was homeschooled and my parents couldn't afford wifi or phones. We had dial-up while the rest of the world had wifi😂 But I was completely, unintentionally maybe, shielded from all this. My mom always used to emphasize that I am beautifully and wonderfully made. It wasn't until I was older and started seeing things out in the world and I had to get wifi for college that I started feeling bad about my body and figure. I'm very small and have a small chest. Everything is just small on me. So no elegant curves or figure for me lol. I just kept circling back to, "I am fearfully and wonderfully made."

[@thespiritualgangsterspodca5232]

@@mistybrass3719 I think it’s so important that your mother especially enforced that you are beautiful in her eyes and in God’s eyes.

It’s tragic that those who have been taken into the cult of gender ideology want desperately to silence people like her and anyone else who talks negatively about ‘transitioning’. The anger they feel about being confronted with the truth is why they will lash out at anyone who speaks it. We must pray for healing for all victims of this ideology, including the ones who are still running from truth.

[@deanaburnham9571]

❤Thank you Professor Matt Fradd! You are by far my favorite interviewer! Your compassion and empathy are palpable. Your line of questioning flows with profound goodwill never having to avoid the most difficult and relevant aspects of the subject on the table. BTW, you were utterly amazing in your interview of J Peterson; it appeared extremely difficult yet you emanated grace and chose not to dominate but rather facilitated and drew out ideas to examine. Your skills to achieve the highest value in an interview are nothing less than stellar! Today, May God bless beautiful Cloe Cole! She offers very helpful insights into a wide range of issues related to the main subject. Telling bravely her personal story, she sheds light on the horror that gender dysphoria causes the sufferer only to be exacerbated by doctors and their fast moving proces. Their methods lead a patient into so called "therapies" which often change a child's life permanently--and not for the best. Children seem to be treated as the new lab rat without any humanity applied to the real struggle they are facing clinically and personally. This was the best and most informative interview of this young lady to date. Thank you! ❤

I really feel for Chloe's parents. I had a trans friend in high school, and their mom was at a loss and she just wanted to love her kid. She was firm that even with a social transition, my friend wouldn't have surgery before 18. Even though my friend eventually had surgery, I'm so glad that their mom did what she could as long as she could to protect her kid from a situation like this. My friend's mom never wanted to have her kid go through this struggle, but she would do anything for her kid.
