Warrior Princess - Transgender Seal Team 6 Member Comes Out - GoFuckYourself.com

In the super-secret world of the Navy SEAL, Chris Beck carried around a explosive secret of his own during 20 years with the elite, all-male unit: He's transgender.

In the memoir Warrior Princess, published Tuesday, retired SEAL Kristin Beck -- formerly Chris -- writes about life struggling with his sexual identity -- and coming out.

The 46-year-old Beck, who retired from the Seal Team 6 only months before it raided Osama bin Laden's hideout, explains that she decided to undergo hormonal therapy some time after leaving the service in 2011.

Beck served 20 years as a SEAL, including seven combat deployments, earning a Purple Heart and Bronze Star.

As The Atlantic Wire notes, Kristin, who works as a military consultant in Florida, decided to come out by posting a new picture of herself dressed as a woman on her LinkedIn profile.

"I am now taking off all my disguises and letting the world know my true identity as a woman," Beck wrote.

In the memoir, Beck notes the irony of one mission as a SEAL in which he is disguised as an Afghan man to blend in with female-hating Taliban men.

"It was weird that I could grow a beard and trick them into thinking I was one of them -- and really I'm an Amazon woman in disguise as a U.S. military guy in disguise as a Pashtun!"

The book is dedicated to his family, to the "underdogs, the activists, the downtrodden," and to his SEAL teammates, to whom he offers a personal message: "I am still the same person with the same experience and the same spirit."

The memoir, published by Advance Press, notes that Beck has been married twice and has two sons, but removed himself from their life because of his frequent deployments and a wish to avoid dealing with his own issues.

The book includes some reactions from this former team members, including praises for Beck's courage in the forward, which was written by former boss, retired SEAL and astronaut William Shepherd.

Other comments from former SEAL teammate:

? "Being a SEAL is hard. This looks harder."

? "I am thankful that your decision was to confront your challenges rather than, as you stated in your own words, 'put a shotgun in your mouth.'"

?"You're a Team Guy, first and foremost, and you always will be. I'll drink a beer with you anytime, anywhere, for any reason, no matter how you are dressed ... especially if you are buying."

The Virginian Pilot, which serves a largely military area of Virginia, writes that transgender service is still forbidden in the military, even after the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell" opened the military up to gay and lesbian servicemen and women.

Beck's co-author is Anne Speckhard, an adjunct associate professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical School, whose has specialized on post-traumatic stress disorder and counterterrorism.

A SEAL member's biggest secret: Life as a transgender

I have the weirdest boner right now.

Very odd story....

I was in the Marines, and the one thing I learned is that all of us were people - Vastly different people. All of us had different likes and dislikes. Two of the biggest culture shocks for me was blacks and southern boys... So it makes perfect sense that some members of Seals are gay or bisexual or transgengered.

I misunderstand...you mean black and southern gay/bisexual men you served with? Or am I off the mark?

sorry.

Tofu, it was a different world back then. My graduating class I don't think had a single black person in it. Had no idea about gay or lesbians and that was growing up just north of LA in Camarillo.
When I got into the Navy, first time I ever spent any time around blacks.
Also in the Navy was the first time I ever I knew a openly gay person, we are still friends.

It's funny, the SpecOps blog, the main one (can't remember name) hinted at this story early last year.

They said that the world was going to get the first Seal Team Six female member, but not in the way that we expected to.

I'm guessing this was the story they were alluding to. I'm guessing the reveal was carefully planned over all of these months.

You are completely off. I didn't mean to imply that gay men in the military were of a certain race or color.

Ok, I'm a bit confused... biologically born a man, but felt she needed to be a woman? Right?

I grew up in a town with 1 black family and whites didn't mix with Mexicans who were all hired hands. We had a buddy we all wondered about until our 20th high school reunion where she came as Tonya instead of Tony. Too twenty years for things to change enough for that one to fly...
