My daughter was taken from me at 16 by CPS and a school counselor, with the help of an LGBTQ group. They claimed I was abusive for not affirming her trans identity. Despite promising to use a male name, it wasn't enough. Instead of therapy, she was given testosterone, and the LGBTQ group used her to raise money. Transgender kids end up in foster care because the state takes them from their families. Parents are forced to affirm their child's identity or risk losing them. The abuse claim against me was proven false, but it was too late. My daughter suffered mentally and physically, and eventually took her own life. I urge you to stop promoting gender ideology to prevent other parents from experiencing this pain.

My name is Chloe Cole, a former transgender child. Growing up, I identified more with boys and struggled with body image issues and trauma. At 13, I began medical transition, including puberty blockers and testosterone, culminating in a double mastectomy at 15. This experience led me to realize the value of my femininity and the desire to be a mother. Detransitioning was challenging, but I found support among others like me. Initially afraid to speak out, I discovered that conservatives welcomed me with compassion. I want to protect children from the harm I experienced and believe Donald Trump will safeguard their innocence and uphold the sanctity of women’s spaces. He values free speech and understands that rights come from a higher power. I care about the future of our children, which is why I am voting for Donald Trump.

Hi, I'm Denise Bell, a mom of four and chapter chair for Moms for Liberty Harris County. I'm speaking on behalf of an HISD parent whose daughter, a junior at Bel Air High School, was actively socially transitioned at school without their knowledge or consent. In ninth grade, the theater teacher asked for the student's pronouns on an information sheet. Following this, multiple teachers began calling her by a different name and pronouns. One teacher even crossed out her legal name on her paper and wrote her chosen name in red ink. This was done without the parents' knowledge or consent, going against their Christian faith, the advice of their therapist, and common sense. Meetings with teachers, counselors, and the principal yielded no change. HISD is secretively transitioning minors.

The push for gender transition in children is harmful and must be stopped. On my first day, I will revoke current policies on gender-affirming care, halt federal funding for these procedures, and ensure hospitals that perform them lose federal health standards. I will support legal action against doctors who perform these procedures on minors. Teachers suggesting children might be in the wrong body will face serious consequences. I will advocate for recognizing only male and female genders and protecting parental rights in gender identity matters. Chloe Cole shares her experience of being misled into believing she was born in the wrong body, leading to irreversible harm. She emphasizes the need for compassion and therapy instead of affirming harmful beliefs. Puberty is a natural process, not a condition to be altered. We must learn from past medical mistakes and protect children from this dangerous trend.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, may express confusion about their gender. They are often sent to mental health professionals who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to irreversible medical interventions like puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones. This process can sterilize children and deprive them of future sexual pleasure. Many affected are as young as 9 or 10, unable to give informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having permanently altered their bodies. This issue is critical for both children and women's rights.

Chloe Cole, a victim of what she calls a medical scandal, shares her story in the hope of preventing others from experiencing the same harm. At 12 years old, Chloe began experiencing gender dysphoria and expressed her discomfort with puberty to her parents. However, she believes that her parents' decision to seek outside help led them down a path of deceit and coercion. Chloe was put on puberty blockers and later testosterone, resulting in irreversible changes to her body. She underwent a double mastectomy at 15 and struggles with the physical and emotional consequences. Chloe emphasizes the need for compassion and therapy rather than affirming a delusion. She urges society to stop telling children they are born wrong and to recognize the risks of this medical approach.

I believe transgenderism is a mental health condition, but I support open conversation. I met two young women who had regretted their decision to have surgeries as teenagers. I think adults should have the freedom to live as they choose, but we must protect children.

Erin Lee, a mother of three from Larimer County, stated that in 2021, her 12-year-old child was socially transitioned in school and was led to believe that puberty discomfort meant she was trans, pushing her toward medical interventions. According to Lee, trusted adults coached her child on pursuing puberty blockers, hormones, and surgery, and how to get a gender-affirming care letter without parental consent. Lee claims that parents are threatened with the "suicide myth," the idea that preventing transitioning will lead to suicide, which she says is not evidence-based and that studies show suicide risk increases after medical transition. She stated that ACLU lawyer Chase Strangio admitted to this. Lee has spoken to parents and detransitioners who regret these procedures. Lee believes the bill will encourage trafficking children to Colorado for "unscientific" medical procedures based on the suicide myth. She claims sex traffickers are coming to Colorado for abortions. She stated that many countries and states have stopped these procedures on children, but this bill protects them and eliminates accountability for medical practitioners, paving the way for more children to be brought to Colorado for abortions or sex change procedures. She urges a no vote.

I wanted to find relief from my pain and figure out what was wrong with me. I turned to the Internet for help. Recently, there has been a surge in media and social media representations of transgenderism, even in mainstream advertising. This content is being consumed by young teenagers, who can easily be influenced. When trans-identified kids go to gender clinics, they are promised comprehensive mental health assessments, but that's not always the case. These clinics now believe that trans kids know who they are, and questioning them is taboo. I was easily manipulated and nobody was there to support me. I tried to alleviate my gender dysphoria, but it only made my body image issues worse. Now, what do we do?

I was once a true believer in gender affirming care, training judges and hospital staff in Missouri. My trans spouse of 13 years detransitioned, which contributed to my change of mind, along with other factors. The protocol is homophobic, built on regressive stereotypes. Of the first 70 children in the protocol, 68 were same-sex attracted. One patient died after a vaginoplasty using their colon due to the puberty blocker preventing normal penis growth. Teenage girls are susceptible to social contagion, especially during COVID lockdowns and increased phone use. Patients mirrored online narratives about being trans, which we called "TikTok tics" in the clinic. I harmed patients, sending them to the ER for emergency surgeries after vaginal tearing during their first sexual experiences. We removed a young woman's breasts who later regretted it, detransitioned, became pregnant, and said her trans identity was a social contagion. I changed my mind because it was the ethical thing to do.

Seventeen years ago, the speaker medicalized at an LGBT center after being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. They were told that their feelings about their body were not related to childhood sexual assault (CSA), but rather that being gay and trans were innate. The speaker underwent facial feminization surgery, sex reassignment surgery, and HRT for seventeen years. They now have multiple health conditions from transitioning young and for so long. They realized that homosexual transition was often environmentally caused by CSA, internalized homophobia, or failed boy syndrome. The speaker states that those who continue to push medicalization hate them and call them a bigot. They claim that transition was conceived by academics trying to find a way for homosexuals to exist in a fascist world and that the ideology is based on lies. The speaker now identifies as a gay man. After detransitioning, they were canceled by all their liberal friends and had to leave the city. They believe people are being lied to and diagnosed with a symptom rather than the root cause of their gender dysphoria, leading them to a life of ruin with irreversible interventions.

We must protect trans kids and ensure their human rights are respected, making them feel seen, accepted, and loved. However, there are concerns about allowing them to make adult decisions as minors without parental knowledge or consent, as well as subjecting them to medical interventions typically used for cancer patients or violent sex offenders. Some argue that these interventions are reversible, despite testimonies from detransitioners, and even advocate for removing custody rights from guardians who disagree. Long-term studies show no reduction in suicidality after the initial 5 years, while pharmaceutical companies profit from this. It's important to reflect on whether we may unintentionally be causing harm in this situation.

Clementine, a detransitioner, shares her experience with another person also named Clementine. She began puberty blockers at 12, testosterone at 13, and had a double mastectomy at 14. Testosterone caused her to experience psychosis, so she stopped taking it around age 17. Now 20, she detransitioned earlier this year and is undergoing reconstructive surgery. She notes that getting approval for reconstructive surgery has been more difficult than getting the initial double mastectomy. She expresses disbelief that people question the experiences of detransitioners.

Chloe Cole shares her personal experience as a victim of gender affirming care, which she considers a medical scandal. At 12 years old, she expressed discomfort with her changing body and identified as transgender. Her parents sought help from a gender specialist who immediately recommended puberty blockers and testosterone. Chloe experienced negative side effects, including hot flashes and joint pains. At 15, she underwent a double mastectomy, which affected her mental health and academic performance. Chloe emphasizes the need for compassion and therapy instead of affirming a delusion that transitioning would solve her problems. She urges society to stop telling children they are born wrong and to recognize that puberty is a natural part of growing up. Chloe pleads with elected representatives to end this harmful practice.

Erin Lee, a mother of three from Larimer County, stated that in 2021, her 12-year-old child was socially transitioned in school and convinced that normal pubescent discomfort meant she was trans. She claims her child was coached on pursuing puberty blockers, wrong-sex hormones, and surgery without parental knowledge or consent, and that her family was threatened with the "suicide myth." Lee asserts there's no proof that not transitioning a gender-confused child leads to suicide; she claims studies show suicide risk increases after medical transition, and an ACLU lawyer admitted this at the Supreme Court. She says Colorado is a trans sanctuary state where children are medically transitioned, sometimes against their will. She also claims sex traffickers bring victims to Colorado for abortions. Lee states that many countries and states have stopped allowing the sterilization and mutilation of children, but this bill enshrines that practice and protects doctors violating their oath. She says Senate Bill 129 eliminates accountability for medical practitioners performing irreversible sex change procedures on children and paves the way for more children to be brought to Colorado for abortions or sex change procedures. She urges a no vote.

The speaker highlights the negative outcomes and side effects of hormone medications used by transgender individuals. They mention that these medications can lead to disease states and adverse consequences. The transgender population has a shorter lifespan compared to the general population due to these medical problems. They also mention that transgender individuals become sterile and sexually incompetent, as their organs are affected by cross-sex hormones. Brain development in adolescence is adversely affected, and bone density is compromised, leading to frequent fractures in adulthood. The speaker argues that if these individuals had received counseling and followed the international standard of care, these diseases could have been avoided.

I apologize for starting my Twitter account in 2023. I needed time to process and explore my feelings before sharing them. I believe that pressuring young and vulnerable individuals to transition without giving them a chance to grow up and understand themselves is wrong. People should have the freedom to transition in their twenties if that's what they truly want. However, I was pressured to transition to preserve my femininity, and now I regret it. I take responsibility for my choices, but the trans community should also take accountability for leading me down this path. I am an almost 30-year-old man, and this is my truth.

Children's bodies are not properly developed, but people argue that denying transition will lead to suicide. Data indicates the opposite: transitioning correlates with increased suicide rates, suicidal ideation, depression, and anxiety. Individuals may regret transitioning, feeling manipulated and exploited. The speaker criticizes the use of "puberty blockers" and "gender affirming care" for minors, comparing it to barbaric practices like lobotomies. Children go through phases, and boys who want to transition may simply be gay. Some gay individuals feel that the concept of transition erases gay identity by implying they are in the wrong gender.

Shay, a transgender individual, shares their personal journey of transitioning. They initially identified as a feminine gay man before researching transgender ideology and deciding to transition. They underwent hormone therapy, facial feminization, and breast augmentation surgeries. However, the hormonal changes negatively affected their mental health, and they experienced complications with their surgically created vagina. They also discovered they had complex PTSD, body dysmorphia, OCD, borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, and internalized homophobia. Shay started detransitioning by taking testosterone but faced challenges due to their nonfunctional genitals. They now rely on synthetic hormones and feel stuck in a surgically altered body. They advocate for stricter regulations on medical transitioning, including comprehensive psychological evaluations and informed consent.

I have a trans kid, my seven-year-old son is in the middle of unmedically transitioning. Thankfully, we live in New York, which is very accepting and a sanctuary state for trans kids. However, with Donald Trump and JD Vance gaining influence, I'm worried they'll prevent my child from getting the hormones she needs for her medical transition. My child has been exposed to a progressive learning environment, and the media she consumes emphasizes inclusion and acceptance. This has helped my son, Carl, realize that she's a girl named Carla. Now, I fear Trump and Vance will block her access to the hormones she needs to become the woman she wants to be. This is fascism and a human rights violation.

We are harming children with the current approach to gender identity. Young kids, often facing bullying or discomfort during puberty, are being rushed into gender transition without proper evaluation. They are sent to therapists who are instructed to affirm their feelings, leading to the administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, which can sterilize them and eliminate their ability to experience sexual pleasure later in life. This is happening to children as young as 9 or 10, who cannot provide informed consent. When they later wish to detransition, they often face abandonment and depression, having made irreversible changes to their bodies. This issue is critical, impacting both children and women's rights.

I regret getting a sex change. My hole is infected and smells terrible. I feel like taking my own life. I think I'll get more attention than gay people. Some men can become women by trading their genitals, but it's not worth it because it smells bad. There's a global mission to change genitals, even for minors. I used to be named Craig, but now I'm a new girl with a Y chromosome. I got brainwashed by the internet and now I'm stuck with this regret. I should have just stayed gay.

Speaker 0 asks Governor Newsom about his well-being. Speaker 1 brings up two cases of young individuals who regretted getting their breasts removed at a young age. Speaker 1 expresses frustration that there are age restrictions for tattoos and dating, but not for gender-affirming surgeries. Speaker 1 mentions sending a letter as an attorney and highlights the issue of kids committing suicide. Speaker 0 then asks Governor Newsom about his response to parents' concerns regarding their children's ability to medically transition at a young age.

I am a transgender man and I want to discuss the role of testosterone in defining masculinity. I have struggled with my identity and felt unhappy as a woman. However, I have come to accept myself as a valid man, despite having female anatomy.

A therapist's client, a young teen entering puberty, understands that their gender does not align with their sex assigned at birth and wants to explore hormones or blockers. The supportive parents scheduled an endocrinologist appointment. The physician informed the parents that if SB 164 were to pass, providing gender-affirming care could lead to the doctor and parents being arrested and imprisoned. The client was devastated by the prospect of their care leading to the loss of their parents.
