Chloe Cole, a biological female, was only 12 years old when she told her parents that she wanted to transition to a boy. Six years later, after receiving cross-sex hormones and a double mastectomy, she says she regrets her decision to begin her gender transition at such a young age.
“I’m biologically female, but at the age of 12, I expressed to my parents, my family that I wanted to transition to a boy,” Cole said in an interview with NTD News. “And just even after a few months of, you know, being referred to a therapist and getting a diagnosis for gender dysphoria, I was started on medicalization at just the age of 13. I started with puberty blockers and then, about a month later, I started on cross-sex hormones. And then eventually at 15, I got a double mastectomy.”
