California teenager Chloe Cole has become something of a star of the movement to deny treatments to transgender youth.
She has given testimony or made public statements in support of anti-treatment bills in Florida, Ohio, Kansas, Missouri, Louisiana, Idaho and North Dakota; appeared on Fox News; and shared a Washington platform with right-wing Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga.
That's useful for you to know in assessing Cole's latest moment in the spotlight: her filing of a lawsuit against the giant Kaiser Permanente health care system.
