Chris Beck spent 20 years operating in secret behind enemy lines as an elite US Navy Seal. But the highly-decorated serviceman was always hiding a deeper, personal secret - since early childhood, he felt he was a female born into a male body.
As a Navy Seal, Chris Beck's world was tough, macho, sometimes violent. He took part in covert missions from the Pacific Ocean to the Middle East and fought alongside members of Britain's SAS on the Shatt al-Arab waterway near Basra during the 2003 war in Iraq.
But in February, more than a year after retiring from the US Navy, he replaced the photograph on his LinkedIn profile with one of a tall brunette in a white blouse smiling in front of the Stars and Stripes and wrote "I am now taking off all my disguises and letting the world know my true identity as a woman." Chris had become Kristin.

It’s so sad to see mental illness celebrated instead of cured

Supposedly the manliest of men with a burning desire to be turned into a female. Now I wonder why the LSM would do a piece about that?..../s
Which begs the question, why does the administration and the MSM want everyone to become homosexual so badly?

Wow, I wish this warrior all the best and hope he/she’s finally found happiness........he’s earned my respect.

The world has gone insane. The normal people are uncool and need to be treated like they are a blight on humanity.

Imagine a news article that glorifies drug addiction, alcoholism or prostitution? Same thing here.

I served with US Seals when I was in Blackwater - their community is tight and they take the Trident very seriously - so I don’t know how this is going to effect them...

“Taking off his disguises?” How ironic a statement.

This HAS to be the craziest story I’ve seen in years. Baffling.
