In June of 2013, Advances Press published Warrior Princess: A U.S. Navy SEAL’s Journey to Coming out Transgender, by Kristin Beck and Anne Speckhard. It’s available here on Amazon (also here for the Kindle edition).

Here is how Amazon describes the book: 

Chris Beck played high school football. He bought a motorcycle, much to his mother’s dismay, at age 17. He grew up to become a U.S. Navy SEAL, serving our country for twenty years on thirteen deployments, including seven combat deployments, and ultimately earned a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. To everyone who saw him, he was a hero. A warrior. A man.

But underneath his burly beard, Chris had a secret, one that had been buried deep inside his heart since he was a little boy—one as hidden as the panty hose in the back of his drawer. He was transgender, and the woman inside needed to get out.

This is the journey of a girl in a man’s body and her road to self-actualization as a woman amidst the PTSD of war, family rejection and our society’s strict gender rules and perceptions. It is about a fight to be free inside one’s own body, a fight that requires the strength of a Warrior Princess.

Kristin’s story of boy to woman explores the tangled emotions of the transgender experience and opens up a new dialogue about being male or female: Is gender merely between your legs or is it something much bigger?

The following year, CNN produced the film, Lady Valor: The Kristin Beck Story. CNN states: “Despite 20 years as a U.S. Navy SEAL, Kristin Beck says her struggle for acceptance as a transgender American represents her most difficult mission.”

From 2013 through around 2017, “Kristin” was all over the media, from USA Today (“A Navy SEAL’s biggest secret: Life as a Transgender”) to the BBC (“The US Navy Seal who went from Chris to Kristin”) to Business Insider (“Meet Kristin Beck, the transgender Navy SEAL hero fighting Trump’s proposed trans ban”) to GQ Magazine (“Kristin Beck: A Navy SEAL in Transition”). 

Earlier this month, “Kristin” announced that he is going back to Chris, but the legacy media won’t tell you that. Suddenly the media is silent.

The only sources that will tell you about it are Christian conservative sources. Part of the reason for that is that Beck found his way out of the “trans” craze by becoming Christian. I won’t fault him for that, though I myself am neither Christian nor conservative. All of that is his business. 

In the only outlets that will let him tell his story, he states that he “was used by the media and psychologists to ‘normalize’ allowing transgender people in the military and to popularize the issue.” He elaborates, using language that could have come directly from the always-amazing 11th Hour blog:

This is a billion-dollar industry between psychologists, between surgeries, between hormones, between chemicals, between follow-up treatments. There are thousands of gender clinics popping up all over our country. And each of those gender clinics is going to be pulling in probably over $50 million.

According to his fiancé, Courtney:

Transgender ideology is cultish and it is not science-based at all. They take that innate human desire to want to change and want to help people and they use it, just like a cult leader would.

Those quotes come from CBN News, “The Christian Perspective.” Here is Beck telling his story to Robby Starbuck, a guy who leans so far to the political right the Tennessee Republican party didn’t even want him when he tried to run for Congress earlier this year.

I really wish it weren’t just Christian and conservative news sites that tell stories like these, but here we are.

This is the story the legacy media doesn’t want you to hear.

The jig is up. “Trans” isn’t real. “Gender identity” is a lie.
