  • Kristin Beck served in the elite U.S. Navy SEALs as a male for over 20 years. In 2011, she retired from the Navy and began transitioning into the woman she is today. In the above interview with Daily Xtra’s Lucas Silveira, Beck discusses coming out as a trans woman and how the U.S. Navy SEAL community reacted. Beck’s story is told in the documentary, Lady Valor: The Kristin Beck Story. The doc screened recently at TIFF Bell Lightbox and is now available on Netflix.

    The people who are so against someone else's happiness must have pretty miserable lives. Bitterness and hate never come from a happy place.

      true...but it doesn't necessarily come from bitterness and hate..just a mindset. Personally I couldn't care if this knucklehead wants to dress like a female. .but just like he has the 'right' to do as he pleases so do others to condemn amd disagree. Personally I believe it's out of selfishness not generosity a person would go this path...but hey, isnt it the modern path. .selfishness! ?

      +Zafiro2jol I've never heard such illogical, ignorant, bullshit in my life and I don't care what "journal" it came from. Ask any gay person or transgender, doesn't matter, and I guarantee you 99.999% of them will tell you they were born that way which is why there isn't and will never be a cure. I'll give you a clue as to why she is who she is, think spiritually, if you can bring your closed mind to that level of thought.

      *****
      1st rule on every arguments :
      -When you don't know what you are talking about or have any knowledge in a specific field , you shut up.
      2nd rule :
      -Do your homeworks !
      If you happento not know this guy, it's because your not working in medecine and he's not some sort of "star people" for some gossip paper.
      Just , let me explain you HOW important this guy is :
      -He is a major contributor of the DSM 3/4/5 edition.
      You know, THE book used worlwide as a standard in the psychiatric field , created for the APA .
      -The ICD is the 2nd book use principaly in Europe for mental disorder diagnosis , it is very broad but we still use the DSM as a reference , for now. In time , the DSM will be supressed but is knowledge will be added in the ICD , so we will only have 1 book for the WHO (World Health Organization) ( it's simple and less costly).
      -This guy was from 1975 till 2001 was the Henry Phipps Professor of Psychiatry and the director of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at the Johns Hopkins University.
      AND
      At the same time, he was psychiatrist-in-chief at the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
      He is currently University Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
      -The Johns Hopkins Hospital is widely regarded as one of the world's greatest hospitals .
      1st rank for 21 consecutive years (1991-2011) and only down to 3rd rank recently.
      -And this guy made huge critical studies in psy field and is considerated as one of the most important and influencable doctor among his peers and broad physicians .
      Do YOU understand know ?
      He's like the commander of an army and you, just a little baby in his cradle , in comparison.
      So , do you really think that a man so high estimaded , recognized as one of the best among the best , by physicians and researchers Worldwide will be a poor source ?
      I hate the fact he's a catholic (since i'm an atheist) but, frankly , there is no fucking way i'm going to say THIS guy is a joke as a physician , never.
      So , either you did not know anything about him and look up for rule1 and rule2 .
      Or you did , and you are a fool .

      life is an illusion. we are made of basic particles that have no intelligence, no goal, consisting almost only of empty space...so don't talk to me about what is real and what is not. You mind exist, yet it is intengible, your individuality exist, yet cannot be sold. Every pain you have suffer was fucking real to you, right? Yet, no one else ever saw it, or felt it, yet it exist, and real TO YOU. Again, reality is very undefine and with the James Telescope, we are seeing things that a few years past, we would never has thought to be real...only a few people knew about black holes, but now we just photographed one... Reality is define by where you stand, in the universe. But keep in mind, it can be very different for someone else...

    I will never forget how the Navy recruiter asked me if I was gay about ten times. When I asked the other one who was my neighbor why he asked so many times he said ' The living quarters are so tight and blah,blah that will never fly here''. About fifty percent of our ship was lesbians and the medical corps, officers and pilots had many gay guys who stay in for twenty or thirty years. More LGBTQ veterans make careers out of it then hetero's like me who bailed out half way through my enlistment when I realized they would never keep their promises to me. Gays never ,ever get thrown out because so many join the service as a closet. That was in the eighties I am sure it may have changed since.

    I understand when a little boy says he is a girl, but when an adult man all of a sudden feels like a woman, I don't buy it. Most likely attention grabbing or some childhood issues coming to surface.
    That doesn't matter though because it's none of my business anyway. You have the right to a gender transformation and I have a right to still consider you a man and find you unattractive.
    Are you telling me that a trans-gender 'woman' should be allowed to play in a women's soccer team? That would obviously be unfair to the actual women. Biology is key, whether you like it or not.

      i dont agree that its bullshit. i feel they genuinely dont feel their birth gender. some people may be using it as attention. but you can say that with anything. i think the vast majority are genuine. live and let live ( as you agree with)
      and we have every right to consider anyone unattractive. beck, i wouldnt fuck with a 10 foot pole. but id say the same about miley cyrus ..
      but yeah i fully agree that in sports, if you were born with a dick, you gotta play with the boys.
      biology is key!
      though i suppose if a woman wanted to play in a mens league, they should have to meet the requirements and join at her own risk ( contact sports)
      otherwise wear a dress and do whatever makes you happy. you have my support !

    Nothing about her story makes sense. If you really believe that you're a woman, & you have such a hard time being a man, why would you go through all that effort to be in a mans world (i.e: the military), being the cream of the crop (I.e: the SEALS), just to be "liberated" after leaving the military? Doesn't seem like being a man was that difficult, given that you were accepted into SEAL team 6; really, the cream of the crop of the SEALS.
    Why put all that effort in the first place?

      +C.S. K. Did you watch the video? Because he told you why. A straight man who bashes a gay man does it in a sense to say, see? I bashed a gay guy, so that pretty much proves I'm not gay. What he really is, is insecure with his own sexuality. People like Kristin do what he did to protect himself from his own emotions and to prove he wasn't what he knew he was. He wasn't accepting himself so he became someone he wasn't so no one would find out how he felt. But when he had enough of the lies to himself, he became what he always was, a woman. Doesn't matter when he did, the important thing for him is that he did. And simply put, if it were no one's business in the first place she wouldn't have had to suffer in her own skin.

      +C.S. K. Let me sum it up simply for you then. She joined the military in hopes that being a tough navy seal would make her "normal" and to hide how she felt not only from others, but from herself. When she realized it wasn't working and she was still miserable because she was acting in a way she didn't feel, she had to be true to herself and "come out" and in order to be happy in her own skin she had to do it no matter what anyone else thought of her.
