A decorated ex-Navy SEAL who was popularized as the first trans soldier in the US is now telling America to “wake up" to the harm that he believes transgender health services are inflicting upon kids.
Christopher Todd Beck, whose interview back in 2013 gained public attention when the combat veteran with 13 deployments opened up about transitioning to become a woman, has now revealed he is detransitioning. Beck warned of how “queer” identities are being deliberately popularized and even foisted upon children.
The ex-Navy SEAL recalled that after a meeting at Veterans Affairs that lasted no more than an hour, he was offered hormones, without any further ado. “I walked into a psychologist’s office [and] in one day I have a letter in my hand saying I was transgender,” he said.
