My name is Chloe Cole
And I am a detransitioner
Another way to put that would be
I used to believe that I was born in the wrong body
And the adults in my life whom I trusted affirmed my belief
And this caused me life-long, irreversible harm
I speak to you today as a victim
Of one of the biggest medical scandals
In the history of the United States of America

That ain't a trans kid
That's a little girl in need of some love
That's a little girl in need of a mom
Who gonna tell her she don't need to look like Kim K or Nicki Minaj
Cos what you see on the gram, baby it's just a facade
Trust me
I know sometimes it gets dark
But you don't need a binder to go and cover ya heart
I'm right here, baby girl
Momma's ready to love you just as you are

At the age of 12, I began to experience
What my medical team would later diagnose as gender dysphoria
I was very uncomfortable with the changes that were happening to my body
And when I told my parents that I felt like a boy
In retrospect, all I meant was that I hated puberty

That ain't a trans kid
That's a little girl in need of some love
That a little girl in need of a dad
Who gonna tell her that she worthy of his love and attention
As beautiful woman
Nah she don't need to be a man for that
So just take Daddy's hand and trust me
I know sometimes it gets dark
But you dont need a binder to go and cover ya heart
I'm right here, baby girl
Daddy's ready to love you just as you are

I came out as transgender
In a letter I sentt on the dining room table
My parents were immediately concerned
The gender specialist I was taken to
Told my parents that I needed to be put on pubrerty blocking drugs right away
They asked my parents a simple question
Would you rather have a dead daughter
Or a living transgender son?

That ain't a trans kid
That's a little girl in need of some love
That's a little girl in need of a friend
Who gonna tell her she don't need to go and jump on a trend
Go and jump on the test
Scalpels get rid of her breasts, wait
What you see in the mirror
Baby that is enough
Yeah you worthy of love
Deaf ears, I know you can't hear it
Dysphoric, know you don't feel it
But I've been there before
What you think these two scars were for?
Flat chest, double mastectomy
Guess pride got the best of me
So trust me
I know sometimes it gets dark
But you don't need a binder to go and cover ya heart
I'm right here, when you ready
I'll be ready to love you just as you are

I didn't need to be lied to
I needed compassion
Just as you are
You're enough
