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 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 trans identities are being deliberately popularized and even foisted upon children, as he appeared on the Robby Starbuck show.

Recalling his once-famous interview for US media, Chris Beck, who has reverted to his original name from the moniker he used formerly - Kristin Beck - said:
“Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it. Everything that happened to me for the last 10 years destroyed my life. I destroyed my life. I’m not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had help. I take full responsibility… I went on CNN and everything else, and that’s why I’m here right now, I’m trying to correct that.”
According to Beck, transgenderism is rampant across the US, and he wants to use his own story to protect children in a political climate which has enabled mushrooming of gender clinics “over all of America.”
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. 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. Some of that was paid for by the VA, and I’m sorry to the American people that I did that.”
Looking back at that time, Beck claims he had been "used".
" … I was very naive, I was in a really bad way, and I got taken advantage of. I got propagandized. I got used badly by a lot of people who had knowledge way beyond me. They knew what they were doing. I didn’t,” he said.
The warning from Beck comes as the Joe Biden administration has been consistently pushing for legalization of gender change procedures for children that healthcare providers have determined are "medically necessary". Biden's Assistant Secretary of Health Rachel Levine has been asserting that "gender affirming care is life-saving, medically necessary, age-appropriate, and a critical tool for health care providers."
However, some Republicans have been criticizing the policy of sowing gender confusion in schoolchildren. US Republican Representative for South Carolina, Nancy Mace, recently sent a letter to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra demanding transparency about taxpayer funds being used to pursue gender-related medicine for children.
"The Biden Administration appears to be encouraging any child, who does not conform to perceptions of masculine or feminine stereotypes, to alter his or her body through potentially irreversible medical or surgical intervention. Instead of funding these life-altering drugs and procedures, our government should be promoting policies to protect vulnerable children," Mace was cited as saying.
