Therefore, the Company discriminates based on gender identity, under EEOC regulations,\u201d Cole said at the shareholder meeting on the phone.<\/p>\n<p>She continued, \u201cI speak from personal experience, as someone who was deceived and physically harmed at a young age by gender ideology, validated by the medical industry, and pushed to the masses by corporations like Disney. Influenced by modern media and social networks, I began a transition to male at age 12. By age 16, after practitioners I trusted encouraged me to take puberty blockers and get a double mastectomy, I tried to come back to reality. But it was too late.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy body has been irreversibly damaged, and years later, my chest is still in bandages. My doctors have abandoned me. New Doctors look and shrug.

Disney has become the Ursula that is stealing the voices of thousands of little Ariel\u2019s across the world by telling us we can be something that we can never become,\u201d Cole said.<\/p>\n<p>She added, \u201cThe lawsuits are coming, sir. It\u2019s only a matter of time before current or past employees, whose bodies and lives have been irreversibly harmed, will show up at your door looking for justice and restitution.
