‘I was human garbage to them’: Chloe Cole on the harrowing realities of detransitioning

🔴 WATCH THE FULL EPISODE: https://ept.ms/4qxzjm6Show more This is the harrowing reality of what detransitioners face, says Chloe Cole: “The moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them. I was subhuman even. … They told me: ‘This is all your fault. Don't put this on us. You were the one who said yes, you were the one who wanted this. You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender. So don't come crying to us. And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need. And you are a waste of resources. You are a waste of the love and support of your family. You didn't deserve the support of your doctors. You didn't deserve any of this. So stay quiet and stop being a problem.’ …There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition, people who were trying to tell me to kill myself, even just for the fact that I was going against the dogma. And I stayed low for a little bit. I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16 year old girl.

How has the community treat detransitioners treat you?

I laugh because it's so comically awful how they treated me from the very beginning.

Before I was involved with politics, before I was a public speaker, the moment that I detransitioned, I was human garbage to them.

I was subhuman even.

They told me, they immediately turned their backs on me.

They were quick to blame me.

They told me, this is all your fault.

Don't put this on us.

You were the one who said yes.

You were the one who wanted this.

You were a complete idiot for not knowing that you weren't truly transgender.

So don't come crying to us.

And you should shut up about this because you might scare somebody out of getting the care that they really need.

And you are a waste of resources.

You were a waste of the love and support of your family.

You didn't deserve the support of your doctors.

You didn't deserve any of this.

So stay quiet and stop being a problem.

And they said even worse.

There were people who were trying to compel me to retransition.

People who were trying to tell me to kill myself even, just for the fact that I was going against the dogma.

I stayed low for a little bit.

I apologized to the same people who were abusing me because I was a freshly traumatized 16-year-old girl.

I had been bullied in school before, but nobody had ever treated me this horribly over such a painful part of my life.

But after a while of being painfully isolated, I started to really think the way that they are treating me is not deserved.

I'm speaking to nothing but my experience, the way that I feel, and to reality.

I'm going to speak up regardless of whether they want me to or not.

And I just knew that there had to be other detransitioners out there, and very quickly I learned that they were in the thousands.

And I'm sure that it's doubled, tripled, quadrupled over the years the amount of us who were out there.

We are never going to know the real numbers.

I'm grateful that I chose to speak up and that God has given me the strength in order to do so.

And some of the harassment, the hatred I faced over the years has gotten worse.

I've been doxxed.

I have had people assaulting me, chasing after me in government buildings who have tried to hurt me, who have wished death upon me.

But I've also received an infinite amount more love.

And I'm not chasing validation.

I don't care how people feel about this.

I just want something to get done.
