Excellent writing, Chloe Cole! Please know that many of us care about you and your sisters. I salute you for making the courageous step to speak out under the auspices of an imperfect politician, as so many find, it is your only platform, your sole method to get the word out. While so many politicians do not choose words carefully, you clearly worked to tell your story clearly, concisely, without losing your composure. You have my admiration.

I hope you find a life of joyous physical activity out in nature, as you heal your mind and body. The reason the woke ideologists attack you so fiercely is your very life (like mine, but I'm the trans widow perspective) brings to light the instability of the dysphoria diagnosis and the fallacies of "affirmation." I tell you, your words are probably giving someone the courage to detransition on a daily basis. You are literally saving the skeletal integrity of countless others. Brava.

I just posted a comprehensive paper on my blog, uteheggengrasswidow.wordpress.com, from a writer at refpac.org, with references to all of the known research questioning the dangerous policies of WPATH, an organization with deep, deep conflicts of interests.

I thank you, Miss Cole.
