Chloe Cole Trash­es ‘Insane’ Legal Argu­ments For Child Sex-Change Surg­eries

Posted in Election 2024  •  Published by

Detran­si­tion­er Chloe Cole said that the debate around child sex-change treat­ments and the fact that it had reached the Supreme Court in itself is “insane.”

Cole appeared on “The Ben Shapiro Show” on Tues­day and slammed child sex-change surg­eries. Cole, 20, was a vic­tim of such pro­ce­dures when she under­went a dou­ble mas­tec­to­my as a teenag­er.

“Argu­ing whether it’s eth­i­cal to cas­trate or dis­fig­ure a gen­der-con­fused child is ridicu­lous enough,” she told Dai­ly Wire edi­tor emer­i­tus Ben Shapiro. “But, also, that we’re argu­ing whether it’s con­sti­tu­tion­al or not is insane.”

“I mean, when the Found­ing Fathers wrote the Con­sti­tu­tion, there is no way that they could fore­see that peo­ple in the future would be using it as an excuse to per­pet­u­ate the insti­tu­tion­al abuse of chil­dren,” she con­tin­ued.

The Supreme Court heard argu­ments on Wednes­day in the case over a Ten­nessee law that bans so-called “gen­der-affirm­ing” surg­eries or hor­mon­al pro­ce­dures on minors, includ­ing surgery, puber­ty block­ers, and hor­mones. The Biden admin­is­tra­tion, the Amer­i­can Civ­il Lib­er­ties Union (ACLU), and sev­er­al teenage plain­tiffs are chal­leng­ing the law on grounds that it vio­lates the Constitution’s equal pro­tec­tion clause.

“It’s not dis­crim­i­na­tion at all, actu­al­ly. We’re not dis­crim­i­nat­ing against chil­dren of either sex or chil­dren who are trans-iden­ti­fy­ing,” Cole said. “We’re bar­ring these treat­ments com­plete­ly for the use of try­ing to tran­si­tion chil­dren at all, regard­less of how the child feels about it, how they iden­ti­fy.”

“Sure, a lot of peo­ple on the left will claim that this is a sub­ver­sion of a parent’s rights and of children’s rights. But a par­ent, no adult has the right to harm a child. A parent’s rights end where it infringes on their child’s,” she added.

Ten­nessee Attor­ney Gen­er­al Jonathan Skrmetti’s office has argued that the “Con­sti­tu­tion does not pre­vent the States from reg­u­lat­ing the prac­tice of med­i­cine where hot-but­ton social issues are con­cerned. Peo­ple who dis­agree with restric­tions on irre­versible pedi­atric pro­ce­dures for gen­der tran­si­tion are free to advo­cate for change through state elec­tions.”

Sim­i­lar bills have been enact­ed in more than 20 states, there­fore the Supreme Court’s deci­sion could have a wide-rang­ing impact on laws reg­u­lat­ing and ban­ning sex-change surg­eries for minors.

Cole appeared out­side the Supreme Court on Wednes­day to ral­ly in sup­port of the Ten­nessee bill.
