Cole testified that she “didn’t understand” the consequences of what she was doing.
“I really didn’t understand all of the ramifications of any of the medical decisions that I was making,” she stated at a recent hearing. “I was unknowingly physically cutting off my true self from my body, irreversibly and painfully.”
In her testimony, Chloe mentions how doctors kept urging her parents to allow the transition, dangling their daughter’s potential suicide as a possible outcome if they didn’t allow her to proceed.
