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.

president donald trump deploys national guard california
"Presidents set precedents and this one is escalatory, incendiary, and could come back to haunt all Americans," Sen. Jack Reed, the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee, said June 8. Trump's order gives 2,000 soldiers the authority to protect federal property like office buildings but no power to arrest civilians, according to a spokesperson for U.S. Northern Command, which is directing the operation. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also has put an active-duty Marine unit on orders to prepare to deploy to California. The 300 members of the California National Guard who deployed Sunday to three sites in Los Angeles appeared to face little in the way of organized opposition, according to a Defense official who was not authorized to speak publicly. Their presence was a performative show of force, the official said, as their authority is clearly restricted. Most of the Guard soldiers are military police officers whose day jobs typically are in civilian law enforcement. They understand the need for restraint, the official said. If they see a protester vandalize federal property, a Social Security Administration office, for example, they can detain the suspect and turn them over to local police. Trump's order fell short of invoking the Insurrection Act, an 18th century law that gives the president authority to use the military to enforce federal law, suppress a rebellion or protect a group's civil rights if the state does not do so. It was last invoked in 1992 during by President George HW Bush at the request of California's governor in response to riots after police officers involved in the beating of Rodney King had been acquitted. Trump and Hegseth's unilateral action over Newsom's objection sets dangerous precedent, Reed said in a statement. "It is crucial that decisions of this magnitude are made with transparency, restraint, and respect for constitutional balance," Reed said. "The President and Defense Secretary should immediately stand down these troops and Congress should reject this dangerous overreaction."

National Guard in LA amid immigration protests: live updates
U.S. Northern Command said approximately 300 soldiers were quickly deployed to three locations in the greater Los Angeles area to provide "safety and protection of federal property and personnel." The Los Angeles Police Department said its officers had been deployed to the protest area. "Everyone has the right to peacefully assemble and voice their opinions," LAPD said in a social media post. "However, vandalizing property and attempting to seriously injure officers, whether Federal or LAPD, is not peaceful." Why did Trump deploy the Guard? What to know about the situation in LA "These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED," Trump said in a social media post Sunday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump signed a memo a day earlier deploying the guardsmen "to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester." "The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs," she said in a statement. On Saturday, a large protest erupted in the city of Paramount in Los Angeles County, about 15 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. It came as Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted enforcement operations in the area and arrested at least 44 people on alleged immigration violations. More demonstrations followed across the area. Police have countered by firing tear gas, pepper spray and flash-bang concussion rounds toward gathering crowds. Some protesters hurled large chunks of broken concrete at officers, slashed tires and defaced buildings, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Contributing: Reuters

LA protest photos show tensions over ICE detentions
On the social media platform X, California Gov. Gavin Newsom called Hegseth's threat to deploy active troops on American citizens "deranged behavior." The Secretary of Defense is now threatening to deploy active-duty Marines on American soil against its own citizens. This is deranged behavior. — Gavin Newsom (@GavinNewsom) June 8, 2025 In a June 8 social media post Trump said, "These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump signed a memo a day earlier deploying the guardsmen "to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester." In an earlier post, Newsome accused Trump of deploying the National Guard "not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle." "Don't give them one," added Newsom. "Never use violence. Speak out peacefully." Photos of the protests show protestors carrying Mexican flags, being arrested by police or having milk poured into their eyes after getting caught in chemical agents fired by law enforcement. The protests came after the Department of Homeland Security said it arrested 118 people accused of being undocumented immigrants in Los Angeles.
