A planned Turning Point USA event at the University of Washington spiralled into a national flashpoint this week after organisers abruptly cancelled conservative activist Chloe Cole's appearance following threats, protests and growing outrage linked to the recent murder of a transgender student near campus.
Chloe Cole, a prominent detransitioned activist known for criticising gender transition care for minors, had been scheduled to speak at the Seattle campus on Wednesday during an event organised by the university's Turning Point USA chapter.
