You might remember him as the trans war veteran who made headlines in 2013 for being trans. He challenged then-President Trump in 2017 over his attempts to prevent transgender service members from getting government-paid medications. In a recent interview, the retired US Navy SEALnow said that he detransitioned because it damaged his life.
Chris Beck, who subsequently changed his name to Kristin Beck before returning to his original name, served in the SEAL teams for 20 years in a number of combat zones, including Afghanistan and Iraq, and was awarded 29 medals for his contributions.
He now warns that “everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it.”
Beck said that traumatic things that happened to him as a kid and how he was raised was “not an excuse for a psychologist to push their agenda and that’s what happened.” He encouraged people to work on whatever inner issues they have and to deal with their trauma first before pursuing transgenderism.
“Everything that happened to me for the last ten years destroyed my life,” Beck said. “I destroyed my life. I’m not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help.”
“I take full responsibility,” he continued. “I went on CNN and everything else, and that’s why I’m here right now, I’m trying to correct that.”
Beck says that he was “very naive” at the time and that he was “used” and was “taken advantage of” by left-wing media.
“I got propagandized. I got used badly by a lot of people who had knowledge way beyond me,” he said. “They knew what they were doing. I didn’t.”
Beck says he’s coming forward now because he wants to protect children. During the interview, he explained how woke culture pressures parents to support their agenda to avoid being canceled.
“There are thousands of gender clinics being put up over all of America,” he said, noting for example that a girl who feels like a “tomboy” is now told by psychologists that they are transgender and are given hormones.
“And then the next day you’re on hormones – the same hormones they are using for medical castration for pedophiles,” he said. “Now they are giving this to healthy 13-year-olds.”
Beck claimed that the transgender movement is a “billion-dollar industry” and that Americans need to “wake up” to it because doctors may easily steer a confused person down the wrong path in life.
Watch
Navy SEAL Chris Beck came out in 2013 as transgender. @andersoncooper did a special on @cnn about it. His story was used as propaganda to allow trans people in the military and to popularize the issue. Now Chris is ready to expose the truth.

“I walked into a psychologist’s office [and] in one day I have a letter in my hand saying I was transgender,” he said. “I was authorized for hormones. I was authorized all this other stuff.”
“I had so much going wrong in my system when I started taking those,” he continued. “Some of that was paid for by the VA, and I’m sorry to the American people that I did that.”
