In this deeply emotional episode of Erased, Chloe Cole opens up like never before about the pain, manipulation, and irreversible decisions she made as a young girl who believed she was supposed to become a boy.
From scrolling through online forums at age 11, to being celebrated for identifying as trans, to undergoing puberty blockers and a double mastectomy by 15. Chloe walks us through every step of how it happened, who encouraged her, and why she’s now dedicating her life to protecting other kids from going through the same thing.
This isn’t about politics. This is about a real human experience — one filled with confusion, coercion, and courage. Chloe doesn’t hold back in describing what it feels like to wake up one day and realize the adults around her failed her.
Watch the full episode now to hear a side of the conversation the mainstream refuses to confront.
Guest: Chloe Cole
Chloe Cole is an American activist known for her outspoken opposition to gender-affirming medical care for minors. Born in 2004 in California, she began identifying as transgender at a young age and started puberty blockers and testosterone treatment around the age of 13. At 15, she underwent a double mastectomy (chest surgery). Later, she detransitioned—ceasing hormone treatments and re-identifying with her birth sex—an experience she has described publicly as deeply impactful.
Since then, Chloe has become a prominent figure in debates surrounding gender medicine. She shares her story in legislative hearings, media appearances, and speaking events, arguing for restrictions on medical transition procedures for youth. Her activism has made her a central and often controversial voice in broader cultural and political discussions about transgender rights, healthcare ethics, and parental consent.
