Detransitioner Explains the Damage No One Disclosed Before She Consented | Chloe Cole Ep. 014

Join The Defenders Circle here: https://www.thedefendingfreedomshow.net Chloe Cole is one of the most recognized detransitioners in the country. She was put on puberty blockers and testosterone at 13 and underwent a double mastectomy at 15. By 16 she understood what had been taken from her. Today she works to make sure no other child goes through it, testifying before elected officials, speaking to parents, and lending her name to the Chloe Cole Act, a federal bill that would protect every minor in the United States from these procedures and give the children who have already been harmed a real path to justice. In this conversation, she walks through what actually happened to her, what the doctors told her parents, and where the bill stands right now. If you want to understand this issue from someone who lived inside it, start here.

Attorney Exposes How Schools Transitioned Kids and Kept It From Parents | Bernadette Broyles Ep. 013

Join The Defenders Circle here: https://www.thedefendingfreedomshow.net Vernadette Broyles is the founder and general counsel of Child Parent Rights, an organization defending families whose children have been affected by gender ideology in schools and in the medical system. Before starting this work, she spent over a decade as a guardian ad litem representing children in Georgia's courts, prosecuted criminals in the Fulton County DA's office, and served on both state and federal boards overseeing child protective services. In this episode, Vernadette sits down with Colby to explain how the transgender movement moved from the fringes into public school classrooms, often without parents ever being told. She breaks down how federal policy under the Obama and Biden administrations pushed schools toward affirming gender confusion, how curriculum tools like the "Gender Unicorn" are used to introduce these concepts to elementary-age children, and why this is happening even in conservative states like Georgia. Drawing on her legal background and years representing vulnerable children, Bernadette makes the case that this isn't a fringe issue, it's a coordinated effort with roots in greed, politics, and ideology, and it's reaching kids earlier than most parents realize. She also shares what the church has gotten wrong in responding to this issue, and what parents and pastors can do to protect the children in their care. If you're a parent, pastor, educator, or simply someone who cares about the wellbeing of children, this is a conversation you need to hear. 🔴 Subscribe for new episodes every Monday. 💬 Comment your thoughts below — we read every one. 📤 Share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.
