Transgender Woman Reveals She Served As A Navy SEAL For 20 Years


I assume this will make some heads explode.

A retired Navy SEAL is poised to blow the doors off the military’s policy on transgender people.

Kristen Beck was a member of the most elite special operations unit in the world — SEAL Team 6. She deployed 13 times. She earned a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star. She served in the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden.

Shortly before the bin Laden raid, in early 2011, she retired as a senior chief petty officer after serving 20 years.

Her name was Chris Beck back then. In a memoir that promises to change the way we think about transgender people and their service in the military, Beck, who is active on Twitter, writes about how she came to the realization that she was meant to live life as a woman.

Not your head, but I am sure Vanilla and a few others won't like it. Sierra was talking to crazy people, not you.

I'm sure there will be some who are shocked. It does kinda blow the whole effeminate male transgender thing out of the water, doesn't it.
 
When I read the story yesterday I was definitely shocked. Living in San Francisco I'm not unfamiliar with transgendered people. The Navy Seals isn't the first place I would think of one being. But I don't mean I was shocked in a disapproving way I was just surprised. Like I stated though I give her all my respects for what she accomplished.
