A crack soldier who was an ultra-tough Navy Seal has done one of the bravest things of his life - had gender reassignment surgery to become a woman.

Chris Beck sported a beard during his 20 years in the US Army and was detailed on an assortment of deadly missions as a member of the unit that took out terrorist mastermind Osama Bin Laden in a daring raid.

But now the facial growth is gone and transgender Beck has started wearing skirts in his new life as a "warrior princess".

It is quite a change for a person steeped in the macho world of special forces soldiering and its life-or-death risks.

There was a Green Beret guy who did this. I forget his name, but he’s well known in the deep diving community. He works at preparing dive tables and figuring out the effects of being under so many atmospheres of pressure again and again.

writer Nora Ephron, in the days before PC took over, sarcastically wrote that these sex change guys all wanted to be high school prom queens, not women.

And psychological studies show that they often act like high school sluts, not mature women.

I thought men in the Army and US Navy couldn’t wear beards either, unless they had a problem with hair folliculitis from shaving (a problem with some people with very curly hair) or if they got an exception for religious reasons (e.g. Muslims or Sikhs)... It has to do with being able to wear a gas mask...

Of course, I’m old enough to remember Christina Jorgenson: so it’s not a new problem.

I think Laz has a rule not to hit something that would hit him back (or at least he should have)
