Via trans activists Erin Reed and Alejandra Caraballo comes interesting (and not altogether shocking) news about alleged detransitioner Chole Cole. Her national and international trarvel while weaving her (unverified) story of being "deceived into being transgender" is a very financially lucrative endeavor.
According to new and explosive reporting by the Los Angeles Times, advocating against transgender people has become a lucrative business for prominent political detransitioner Chloe Cole. A newly released audio recording reveals that Cole earns upwards of $200,000 for opposing transgender care, primarily through speaking engagements, donations via Donorbox, and her employment with the far-right organization Do No Harm, which facilitates her access to opportunities to testify.
The recording, which comes from Chloe Cole’s testimony during a court hearing in Ohio regarding the state's gender-affirming care ban, features Cole discussing her income and funding (with cleaner, trimmed audio also provided by Civil Rights Attorney Alejandra Caraballo:
Attorney: “You don’t have any first-hand knowledge of how gender affirming care is provided in Ohio, is that right?”
Cole: “No, not from personal experience.”
Attorney: “I understand you’re employed as a senior fellow at Do No Harm?”
Cole: “Yes”
Attorney: “And Do No Harm’s mission is to fight against the current model of care in place for gender dysphoria, is that right?”
Cole: “Yes…”
Attorney: “And you submitted testimony in support of HB68 as part of your job in Do No Harm, is that right?”
Cole: “Yes”
Attorney: “And Do No Harm has helped you find other opportunities to testify in state legislatures, is that right?”
Cole: “Yes”
Attorney: “Do No Harm paid you $2,000 a month for that work, is that right?”
Cole: “Yes”
Attorney: “And you make between $50-$100,000 in speaking fees in [unclear] is that right?”
Cole: “Yes”
Cole later added that she additionally makes up to $100,000 in donations through her Donorbox, separate from the income she earns from speaking engagements.
It looks like Cole refutes the adage of "when money talks, bullsh!t" walks. Apparently "bullsh!t stays specifically where the money is.
