Ask Kristin Beck what it's like to be the only transgender Navy SEAL in the world and you get a deeply philosophical answer on living a conflicted life.
The one thing she's sure of: After a 20-year career as a highly decorated commando, coming out publicly as a woman was the truest - and hardest - thing she had ever done.
As a SEAL and a senior chief petty officer in the exclusive Naval Special Warfare Development Group known as SEAL Team 6, Beck conducted 13 tours of combat service in Iraq, Afghanistan and other hot spots around the globe.
...
Beck now has a girlfriend "She makes everything in my life better," she said.
"She saw me for who I am, not for the outside. She doesn't care about all this stuff. She just cares about the real me."

My 90 year old mother was telling me about this
last night, something about a Navy Seal going undercover
as a woman...poor dear, I just said, “yes mom”.
Someone biologically male who is still sexually attracted to females needs counseling to realign mind with biology, not remove body parts to fit the body image.
Fantastic! Great pairing of photos. If I had a medal I’d pin it on you! I laughed until I had to wipe tears.
This is SIX paragraphs in to the article:
“One day, she put on a dress and went to her civilian job at the Pentagon. Then, in 2013, 18 months after retiring from active service, she went on CNN and announced her identity on LinkedIn.”
Took me a long time to find it, too, as I was just skimming. It’s all I want to know from this stupid article.
The title says SEAL; OK, in the sense that someone is a SEL for life, but, no. Former SEAL.
Retired from active duty.
We know a guy who saw a lot of combat and was somewhat responsible for getting a guy in his unit killed.
Showed up in divorce court wearing a dress. We didn’t call the Virginia Pilot nor CNN. Years ago, this happened. We figured the guy flipped out.
Duh
Do you know how proper natives of “The Old Dominion” pronounce the name of their state?
Vah-ginia.
Has a “warm fuzzy” ring to it, doesn’t it?
I worked in the prison system for years, this just doesn’t happen over night. He or it can say what it wants but it was doing this for years.
“So this jackass turned himself into a “woman” so he could be a lesbian? Now THAT is really !@#% up!”
Are you SURE it’s not “poetic justice” or “irony” or something like that? Nope, on second thought, you’re right, it’s really !@#% up!
Deviants are the center of the universe now.
I sort of feel sorry for the guy. He had to have had a lot of something, whatever it is, to complete that extremely difficult training and also combat.
I think he simply lost his mind. It happens to good and bad people.
“The one thing she’s sure of: After a 20-year career as a highly decorated commando, coming out publicly as a woman was the truest - and hardest - thing she had ever done.”
Bullsh*t.
And just the sort of twisted, silly bullsh*t we’d expect from this egregiously confused character.
Is there any chance they could reverse the “Once a SEAL, always a SEAL” oath?
What happened to the Y chromosome?
The SEAL is one mentally screwed up person.
Yup, its F ed up, but it makes him happy. Life, Liberty and Pursuit of happiness. He doesn’t harm anyone by being a woman, and if this is what makes him happy, who is to say it is wrong? He (Still a he) served his country for 2 decades honorably, He wasn’t separating himself from the unit by dancing around in a pink tutu and demanding his rights to do that. He served with distinction, if he wants to wear a skirt to the gun range, who cares?
No, fella, you are the one who is obsessed with "all this stuff"--the "outside" as you call it, the body you mutilated because you wanted to show the world who "the real me" was.
I was wondering how Christian counselors would help and this article is really good.

SEALs have a dangerous job, and I assume one occasionally takes a hit to the groin. That doesn’t make him a woman, just unlucky (and probably lonely when he gets home).
To pay a doctor for the same mutilation also doesn’t make the SEAL female, just insane (and probably lonely when the world comes to its senses and the “look at me” 15 minutes of fame is over).
Transgenderism is a mental illness, it would not have been able to continue to qualify to serve as a SEAL.
Willllburrrr???
I have to wonder if “it”, (not a she) implied this was “his” desire to become this “thing”, pre-discharge???
