Chloe Cole is a young woman with the same level of courage as world-class swimmer Riley Gaines who has become well known for defending women’s sports from trans-males.  Both of these young women have been stung more than once by the gender cancel culture.  Neither has given up.

Chloe is no athlete but has become one of the best-known spokespersons cautioning others about the hidden downsides of life-altering hormone treatments and gender transition surgery.  She has even given her personal testimony at a congressional hearing.  Her motivation for speaking out is simply to save others from her fate.  She is among the thousands of minor-aged girls who took the hormones followed by surgical procedures.  Chloe had the ‘top surgery’ procedure to remove both breasts at the age of 15 only to regret it almost immediately. 

The most recent cancel culture incident for Chloe was reported in an October 2023 Daily Wire article.  Chloe was scheduled to speak at an event in South Carolina sponsored by the Palmeto Family Council at First Baptist North Spartanburg on Nov. 6, 2023.  The event organizers used the popular Eventbrite platform to manage and administer the on-line ticketing. 

However, at the last-minute Eventbrite unexpectedly determined that the scheduled event is not permitted on their platform as it “…violates our Community Guidelines and Terms of Service, specifically our policy on Hateful, Dangerous, or Violent Content and Events.”  Not serving an event like a KKK or Antifa convention is understandable, but rejecting Chloe Cole seems unjustified.  This cancellation obviously caused hardship for the event sponsor too.

A little research found that this was not the first time Eventbrite refused an event opposed to woke gender ideology.  A 2022 Ticket News article confirmed it:

“…the platform removed Woman’s Place UK’s webinar from its platform over the fear that discussions on gender ideology in the event might lead to hateful views. It was to be the launch for Defending Women’s Spaces, written by Karen Ingala Smith, a book about sex and gender identity with an argument that the people of the female sex have a unique set of needs which are often not met by mixed-sex spaces.”

In the South Carolina example, state Attorney General Alan Wilson is challenging Eventbrite for “censoring viewpoints it does not agree with.”

“In a letter written to Eventbrite, Wilson gave the platform 30 days to clarify how [Chloe’s] account of the transgender experience is allegedly “hateful, dangerous, or violent, and what [it] will do going forward to ensure [its] event screening policies are politically unbiased and respectful of freedom of speech.” (snip)

“Wilson was joined by 19 Republican attorneys general of states including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.”

It is now quite obvious that Eventbrite’s woke management doesn’t want kids or parents to know there are thousands of detransitioners like Chloe who were also subtly manipulated by social media, schoolteachers, medical professionals, etc. to take hormones and undergo painful, irreversible life-altering transgender surgery.
