Summaries generated with gmurro/bart-large-finetuned-filtered-spotify-podcast-summ .

Transgenderism and gender identity has invaded nearly every academic, medical, and educational institution seemingly overnight. How did we get to this point where nearly every pediatric institution in the country considers it best practice to remove the healthy breast tissue of children while administering drugs typically used to chemically castrate high risk sex offenders? Raising these important questions is not bigoted, and the refusal of activists to give straightforward answers should be seen as a major red flag.

00:00:00.000 Over the past decade, there has been as high as a 4,000% increase in children
00:00:07.000 being referred to so-called gender clinics across the United States.
00:00:11.000 I was one of these children.
00:00:13.000 My name is Chloe Cole, and I am an 18-year-old former transgender child.
00:00:18.000 I transitioned from the age of 12 up until 16 when I realized it all was a lie. 0.89
00:00:24.000 My story is cautionary tale.
00:00:26.000 Children and parents across the country have been caught off guard by gender ideology.
00:00:31.000 Discussions about transgenderism and gender identity went from being a relatively benign social oddity
00:00:38.000 to a doctrine that has invaded nearly every academic, medical, and educational institution seemingly overnight.
00:00:45.000 How did we get to this point?
00:00:47.000 How did we get to the point where nearly every pediatric institution in the country
00:00:51.000 considers it best practice to remove the healthy breast tissue of children
00:00:55.000 while administering drugs typically used to chemically castrate high-risk sex offenders?
00:01:01.000 Raising these important questions is not bigoted,
00:01:03.000 and the refusal of activists to give straightforward answers should be seen as a major red flag.
00:01:09.000 People across the entire political spectrum who believe that this practice is morally wrong
00:01:13.000 have been told that they are fascists or bigots for even questioning this atrocity.
00:01:18.000 Others have been convinced by self-proclaimed gender specialists 0.66
00:01:22.000 that this is the only treatment that will not end in your child committing suicide.
00:01:26.000 I believe Americans deserve to know the truth about this radical and perverse ideology
00:01:30.000 marketed as necessary and life-saving healthcare.
00:01:34.000 I was only 12 years old when I told my parents that I was a boy.
00:01:38.000 Like many parents in that situation, they didn't have a clue what to do.
00:01:42.000 They were scared and desperate for answers.
00:01:46.000 They wanted what every parent wants for their child, for me to be okay and thrive.
00:01:52.000 At 13 years old, on the advice of so-called medical professionals,
00:01:56.000 I was put on puberty-blocking medication.
00:01:58.000 And only a month later, I was given my first testosterone injection.
00:02:02.000 The gender clinic presented my parents with the classic false dichotomy 0.93
00:02:06.000 regarding children with gender dysphoria.
00:02:08.000 Would you rather have a dead daughter or a living son?
00:02:12.000 Given these options, what loving parent wouldn't choose to transition their child? 1.00
00:02:17.000 Scared for my life.
00:02:19.000 My parents were prepared to sign anything the doctors asked.
00:02:22.000 This was not informed consent.
00:02:25.000 It was a decision forced under extreme duress.
00:02:28.000 At 15, I went under the knife for a radical double mastectomy.
00:02:33.000 The kind that breast cancer patients get. 0.92
00:02:36.000 This was after I was sexually assaulted at school by a male student.
00:02:42.000 I just told myself to man up, but I lived my life in constant hatred of my breasts. 0.66
00:02:48.000 I started binding, which deformed my breasts as well as my ribcage.
00:02:52.000 I was afraid and I couldn't wait to finally protect my body from the threat of further molestation.
00:02:58.000 At 16, I finally realized what happened to me.
00:03:03.000 That I had made a huge mistake.
00:03:05.000 I realized the beauty of motherhood was stolen from me by medical professionals
00:03:09.000 who my family entrusted me to.
00:03:12.000 I realized after maturing a bit more that a child does not in fact know who they are at 12 years old.
00:03:17.000 I realized that I wanted to be what I always was and forever will be.
00:03:22.000 A woman.
00:03:24.000 With this realization came a series of challenges that were far worse than the transition.
00:03:28.000 Somehow, I had to get myself off these drugs and tell everyone in my entire life that I was not who I said I was.
00:03:35.000 My parents were shocked and felt like they failed me on every level imaginable.
00:03:39.000 My friends all turned against me because I was evidence that their beliefs were a lie.
00:03:43.000 I was a joke. 0.98
00:03:44.000 I was a fraud. 0.66
00:03:45.000 I was many years behind in development, incapable of feeding my future children.
00:03:50.000 And worst of all, completely alone.
00:03:53.000 Even the medical professionals who got me into this mess now have no idea what to do with me and they refuse to help me.
00:04:01.000 It almost killed me, as it has killed many who regret transition.
00:04:06.000 The big question still remains. 0.95
00:04:08.000 I was a 12 year old, introduced to the idea that they could do something as ridiculous as change their sex. 0.97
00:04:14.000 I was and still am the type of kid that never really fit into social norms. 0.94
00:04:18.000 I was a tomboy.
00:04:19.000 I was shy.
00:04:20.000 I didn't socialize easily.
00:04:22.000 At 11, I made my first Instagram account.
00:04:25.000 I had unmonitored internet access.
00:04:27.000 It wasn't long until I was exposed to a ton of LGBTQ content online.
00:04:31.000 And I had never seen anything like it.
00:04:34.000 You mean that all I have to do is subscribe to this ideology and then I'm an accepted, celebrated, and valued member of the most talked about community on earth?
00:04:45.000 Transgender people are the most celebrated subset of this community.
00:04:49.000 I saw the unbelievable amounts of praise and attention they got online.
00:04:53.000 And subconsciously, I yearn to have a piece of it.
00:04:57.000 With every milestone in my medical transition, I was given more and more attention and celebration.
00:05:03.000 It was the ultimate high.
00:05:05.000 Even in person, I got more attention.
00:05:07.000 Girls would have crushes on me and I would have people come up to me in the hallways asking to make friends.
00:05:13.000 And it was unprecedented for me.
00:05:16.000 I felt like a celebrity.
00:05:18.000 Being a kid, I didn't know just how superficial these relationships were until they all suddenly abandoned me just for struggling to become who I am.
00:05:27.000 Much of this gender confusion is based on old regressive stereotypes of men and women, which are now being reinforced with hormones and surgeries.
00:05:35.000 Women can have short hair and be interested in playing sports and partaking in physical activities. 1.00
00:05:40.000 Men can grow their hair out and wear makeup.
00:05:43.000 It does not change their biology.
00:05:46.000 The truth is, this practice is harming more and more children every day.
00:05:52.000 What will we do to protect this most vulnerable group?
00:05:55.000 Up until now, the media has been parroting the same ideologically driven talking points.
00:06:01.000 Affirm, affirm, affirm.
00:06:04.000 The closest I've touched to mainstream media is a Forbes journalist who wrote a hit piece on me calling basic human biology transphobic.
00:06:13.000 There are many detransitioners speaking out and they are ignored by the institutions most responsible for the search of truth. 0.98
00:06:20.000 Up until today, most politicians on the left and right have done nothing but get into Twitter fights on this issue.
00:06:26.000 There is no second chance at childhood, so we must do our best as adults to guide our children to pathways that lead to healthy bodies and minds instead of depression and disfiguring.
00:06:37.000 No child deserves to suffer under the knife of a gender affirming surgeon. 1.00
00:06:41.000 America's children, all children deserve better.
00:06:45.000 Thank you.
00:06:56.000 Thank you.
00:06:59.000 Thank you.
