EXCLUSIVE I transitioned from male to female when I was 12... here's why I SUPPORT Trump's ban on childhood sex changes
The prominent de-transitioner Chloe Cole has joined a lawsuit to support a Trump administration order halting medical sex changes on children, which has been challenged in the courts.
Cole, 20, began to transition at age 12 with drugs and then breast-removal surgery, which she later regretted and has tried to reverse. She says President Donald Trump 's directive should stand, as it would stop other minors suffering like her.

China strikes cautious tone after Trump claims trade deal is 'done'
China will "always honour its commitments" when it comes to negotiating trade disagreements with the US, according to a spokesperson for the Chinese government. But when pushed by Sky News, he refrained from confirming what those commitments are. The reluctance is at odds with President Trump, who declared on his Truth Social account that "our deal with China is done", while also claiming that China has agreed to supply rare earth metals to the US"upfront", and to a 55% tariff rate on its goods. The comments follow high-stakes talks between delegations from the two countries in London aimed at stabilising the relationship amid an escalating trade and supply chain war. China's refusal to confirm these details has raised speculation that, contrary to what the US side is claiming, there may still be significant disagreements and some details yet to be worked out. The continued silence comes after two days of negotiations between delegations from the US and China in the UK. While both sides confirmed that they had agreed a "framework" to implement the "consensus" reached at previous talks in Geneva last month, as well as during a phone call between President Xi and President Trump on 5 June, the delegations were supposed to be taking the agreement to their respective leaders for sign-off. When asked by Sky News if any of the details in Trump's Truth Social post reflected what China understood to be in the deal, Lin Jian, China's foreign ministry spokesperson said "the two sides achieved new progress in addressing the concerns on economic and trade issues". "We always honour our commitments. Since we've reached common understandings, the two sides need to follow them." 👉 Follow Trump100 on your podcast app 👈 When pushed by Sky News on whether China agrees with Trump's Truth Social assessment that the US-China relationship is "excellent", Lin declined to agree, saying simply: "Our position on relations with the United States has been consistent and clear". Such lukewarm language is not uncommon in China but there will likely be significant displeasure at the way Trump is unilaterally publishing details that may not yet have been officially signed off. It is in stark contrast to China's communication landscape which is highly scripted and controlled, and if it was designed to force China into an agreement it could well backfire. Indeed, if everything in Trump's Truth Social post is true it would represent quite a coup for the US, and that feels a little unlikely given the valuable bargaining chips China has, particularly over rare earth metals. 0:54 This will likely have been a crunch point in negotiations. China has the vast majority of the world's rare earth metals which are vital in the production of everything from cars to weaponry, and recent export controls imposed in response to Trump's tariffs have brought some production lines to the brink of standstill. In response, the Trump administration imposed extra export controls on high-tech chips, chip development technology and parts needed to make jet engines, as well as moving to revoke student visas for Chinese nationals. President Trump indicated in his Truth Social post that the measures to revoke visas will be rowed back. When pushed by Sky News, Lin refrained from commenting on whether Trump's communications on this matter have undermined the relationship more broadly, but the stakes remain enormously high, with the unfolding supply chain war set to do significant damage to the economies of both nations.

Daniel Cormier clears up wild claims that MMA legend Ben Askren had DIED after a battle with pneumonia - as UFC great reveals what's really going on
UFC legend Daniel Cormier has cleared up claims that Ben Askren passed away following a battle with pneumonia. The American mixed martial arts star was hospitalised last weekend, with reports claiming the 40-year-old was suffering with illness as a result of a staph infection. The news led to an outpouring of support from the MMA community and on Saturday Askren's wife Amy posted on Facebook to clarify that her husband was unresponsive following a sudden bout of pneumonia. Taking to the social media platform to confirm the news on Sunday, she wrote: 'You may have heard that my husband Ben is going through something. 'He developed severe pneumonia which came on very suddenly. He's currently in the hospital and unable to respond to anything at this time'. On Thursday morning, rumours began circulating social media claiming that Askren had passed away however Cormier, his podcast co-host, debunked those rumours. Initially, on his YouTube channel, Cormier said: 'I want to report to you guys that he's now back home in Wisconsin. 'He's with his family, his beautiful wife Amy, and everybody is praying that Ben gets better and we can start moving forward with life, for Ben.' Some fans misinterpreted that to suggest that Askren was on the mend at home, however, Cormier later tweeted: 'He's back in Wisconsin in a hospital. He isn't home. Please keep praying for Ben. I should have been more clear'. Together, Askren and Cormier host the 'Funky and the Champ' podcast where they discuss everything going on in the MMA world. On Saturday Askren's wife Amy posted on Facebook to clarify that her husband is unresponsive after being hospitalised following a sudden bout of pneumonia. The MMA world came together and wished Askren well as he continued his health battle and now, days later, Amy has posted a fresh update. Taking to Facebook, she wrote: 'Feeling so incredibly thankful for our friends and community. It's times like this that remind you how truly blessed you are. 'I feel God moving through the love and support we have received. 'I'm sorry if I haven't had the chance to respond to you, but know I've seen your messages, and each one has meant so much to me. Please keep praying for Ben.' Known for his suffocating grappling skills, Askren made his MMA debut in 2009 after a decorated collegiate wrestling career that saw him become a two-time NCAA division 1 champion. The 2008 Olympian would go on a decade-long undefeated streak inside the cage, winning world titles in Bellator and ONE and was widely regarded as one of the best fighters in the world outside the UFC. Despite a fractious relationship with UFC president Dana White, Askren would go on to make his Octagon debut in 2019 after a trade deal involving former flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson. After defeating Robbie Lawler in his UFC debut, Askren would go on to suffer back-to-back losses against Jorge Masvidal and Demian Maia before announcing his retirement from the sport. Despite undergoing major hip surgery after hanging up his gloves, helater returned to competition, losing to Jake Paul via first-round TKO in April 2021. Since then Askren has co-hosted the Funky and the Champ podcast alongside his Olympic team-mate Daniel Cormier. Askren also recently signed with Real American Freestyle—an amateur wrestling promotion headed by WWE legend Hulk Hogan and former WCW executive Eric Bischoff.
