South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson blasted Eventbrite, the popular ticketing and event platform, for censoring viewpoints it does not agree with. The platform unpublished an event which was set to feature Chloe Cole – a 19-year old having undergone gender transition at the age of 15.

The cancelled event, dubbed “Stop The Insanity,” aimed to point out to the dangers of transgenderism for minors, according to the event’s host the Palmetto Family Council.

“The event is being held specifically to foster a movement to stop the genital mutilation of minors in South Carolina and across the country who are too young to consent to such procedures and therapies,” the council shared in a statement.

Cole, who underwent a double mastectomy after taking testosterone and puberty blockers for two years, now regrets the decision and is speaking out against gender transition, highlighting the alleged dangers it poses to children.

In an email sent to the Palmetto Family, Eventbrite alleged that the event violated the platform’s policy on hateful, dangerous, violent content and events. “As a result, your event has been unpublished,” read the email.

“Companies do not have to agree with their consumers,” Wilson said, “but they absolutely should not silence one viewpoint and promote another.”

In a letter written to Eventbrite, Wilson gave the platform 30 days to clarify how Cole’s account of the transgender experience is allegedly “hateful, dangerous, or violent, and what [it] will do going forward to ensure [its] event screening policies are politically unbiased and respectful of freedom of speech.”

“Rather than celebrate the marketplace of ideas and trust that the truth will prevail, Eventbrite appears poised to manipulate public opinion by silencing political dissidents,” the letter included.

Wilson was joined by 19 Republican attorneys general of states including Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia.

The Palmetto Family stated the event was still set to take place on November 6 at 7pm in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

Eventbrite has been criticized multiple times for the removal of several events from its platform, drawing accusations of censoring unpopular voices through its cancellations. Similarly, it removed Woman’s Place UK’s webinar from its platform over the fear that discussions on gender ideology in the event might lead to hateful views last fall. It was in the crosshairs of conservative commentators in another incident again over the removal of events for screenings of a documentary by Matt Walsh, “What Is A Woman?”, stating that it violated its terms and policies regarding hate speech.
