No idea. Not really my concern. She’s not in my command. I do wish her the best though. I’m sure her path is not an easy one.

That said, she is a SEAL so I look forward to reading her book one day.
Here's an interview where CNN is speaking to the first openly transgender active-duty Navy SEAL

Thanks for sharing that. It really helps to illuminate the kinds of struggles that our transgender teammates are going through. It’s important for us as leaders to try our best to understand where our subordinates are coming from and what they are dealing with.

You sure were right about that one, sir.
Retired Navy SEAL made famous after coming out as trans announces detransition: 'destroyed my life'
A retired Navy SEAL who became famous nearly 10 years ago after coming out as transgender announced he is detransitioning and called on Americans to "wake up" about how transgender health services are hurting children.
"Everything you see on CNN with my face, do not even believe a word of it," Chris Beck, formerly known as Kristin Beck, told conservative influencer Robby Starbuck in an interview published earlier this month. "Everything that happened to me for the last ten 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," he continued. "I went on CNN and everything else, and that’s why I’m here right now, I’m trying to correct that."
Huh. Beck was still Kristin back in June and talking about still taking hormones on Joe Rogan.
I turned it off when Beck started talking about gravity being fake.
I was just going to post about this. This is huge but he won't get the press now, that he got when he got the lopitoffmectomy.
Hm. Mental health issues? Who knew?
A traitor to the Woke agenda. How is this possible? Trump must be to blame.
Yea, other untreated mental illness is either the top or second(depending on study) cited factor for detransitioning. The other is societal pressure, I.E. life got harder as a trans person.
Sounds like Beck is saying he's more of the mental side.
It's like people who get a gastric bypass but don't fix their diet.
The surgery might help, but if you don't follow through on the underlying causes It's worthless.

Eh, anyone looking to have a mutilating surgery is already not right in the head. Need to treat the cause of why that person actually has gender dysphoria. Surgery just treats a symptom.
I think his mental health issues may have pre dated his detransitioning.
It seems like he’s making the case they they are what prompted him to transition in the first place.
Agreed. I don't think someone of sound mind talks to a shrink for a hour and decides transitioning is a good idea, as he's claiming happened.
That shrink is also sus for going along with a transition plan. That's not how it works. At All.
Thread bomb.
