A former member of SEAL Team Six has become the
poster girl for a Pentagon effort to include transgenders — people who have
undergone sex-change operations — in the ranks.
Kristin Beck (above), formerly Senior Chief Petty Officer
Christopher Beck, spoke recently at several high-profile events at intelligence
agencies and the Pentagon to promote the integration of transgenders.
"Transgender service in the armed forces, yes
it will happen soon," she said on Twitter.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, among the most
politically correct Pentagon chiefs of the past several decades, fueled the
effort within the Pentagon to integrate transgenders in May when he said the
policy of banning transgenders should be reviewed continually.
The transgender
drive is the latest element of the Obama administration's social engineering
within the U.S. military.
The Pentagon currently defines transgenders as
sexual deviants.
Among Ms. Beck's recent appearances were speeches at
the Defense Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office and at Hill
Air Force Base, Utah, according to the DIA and her Twitter feed.
She also was scheduled to speak to the Multicultural
Heritage Committee at Offutt Air Force Base, Nebraska, although one defense
official said it is not clear how transgenderism fits within the multicultural
spectrum.
Ms. Beck, author of "Warrior Princess,"
spoke to the DIA on June 18 as part of the intelligence agency's annual
"Pride Month" — formerly "Gay Pride Month" but now expanded
to include a host of sexually related terms, including transgenders.
She
received an award from DIA Director Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn at the event.
According to DIA's newsletter, Ms. Beck, in her
remarks, pushed for allowing transgenders in uniform. She said the Pentagon
should stop defining people by external appearances and accept what they say
they are on the inside.
"We are all, all of us, created equal, and we
all deserve equal justice," she said, explaining how she hid her true
sexual identity during her military career.
As a man, Ms. Beck was part of SEAL Teams One, Five
and Six and was awarded a Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.
Since sex reassignment last year, Ms. Beck has
sought to promote gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender acceptance in the
military.
