I&#8217;ve been avoiding this subject since last night when someone sent us a link, but I&#8217;ve been getting a couple of &#8220;tips&#8221; every hour about Chris\/Kristin Beck who wrote about his journey from Navy SEAL to woman. Yes, according to Don Shipley, Beck is indeed a former SEAL. Shipley&#8217;s exact words were &#8220;Only in the Navy&#8230;.&#8221; So I figured that since I have nothing constructive to add to the discussion, but you guys seem eager to discuss it, here&#8217;s your opportunity. From the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2013\/jun\/4\/warrior-princess-transgender-navy-seal-chronicles-\/\">Washington Times<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Chris Beck served for 20 years on SEAL Team 6 \u2014 the same unit that ultimately raided bin Laden\u2019s compound. He retired six months before the bin Laden raid, but nonetheless still went on 13 different deployments during his military career \u2014 seven of which sent him to combat areas \u2014 ultimately earning a Bronze Star and Purple Heart, the Daily Mail reported.<\/p>\n<p>But something was amiss.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChris really wanted to be a girl and felt that she was a girl and consolidated that identity very early on in childhood,\u201d said Anne Speckhard, who helped the soldier write a book, called \u201cWarrior Princess,\u201d the Daily Mail reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just so long as he doesn&#8217;t do like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22073\">Autumn Sandeen<\/a> and starts wearing a female Navy uniform in public.
