Controversy Surrounds TPUSA's "Pick Up the Mic" Initiative as Detransitioner Chloe Cole Faces Backlash Chloe Cole, a 20-year-old detransitioner who underwent hormone therapy and surgery to transition from female to male between the ages of 12 and 16, was set to speak at an event hosted by Turning Point USA (TPUSA), a conservative organization known for its advocacy of traditional values. Cole's scheduled appearance as part of TPUSA's "Pick Up the Mic" initiative, which aims to provide a platform for conservative voices, has sparked intense debate and backlash from some in the LGBTQ+ community. Critics argue that Cole's participation in the event will perpetuate a narrative that is hostile to the trans community, while others see her story as a powerful example of the potential risks and unintended consequences of medical transition at a young age. As the event approaches, tensions are running high, with many calling for Cole's appearance to be canceled.
