Why Do Transphobes Use The Case Of Chloe Cole In Their Arguments Against Gender Affirming Care?
Chloe Cole was born with the sex assigned male at birth, but she always identified as female. She began transitioning at the age of 13 with the support of her parents. After transitioning, Cole said she felt much happier and more at peace with herself. She has since spoken out about her experiences to help others understand the importance of gender affirming care.
The use of Chloe Cole's story to argue against gender affirming care is dangerous because it can dissuade transgender people from seeking the care they need. Gender affirming care is essential for the mental and physical health of transgender people. It can help them to live authentically and to reduce the risk of suicide.
