Warrior Princess: A U.S. Navy SEAL's Journey to Coming out Transgender
Book Description
Publication Date: June 1, 2013
Chris Beck played high school football. He bought a motorcycle, much to his mother’s dismay, at age 17. He grew up to become a U.S. Navy SEAL, serving our country for twenty years on thirteen deployments, including seven combat deployments, and ultimately earned a Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. To everyone who saw him, he was a hero. A warrior. A man.
But underneath his burly beard, Chris had a secret, one that had been buried deep inside his heart since he was a little boy—one as hidden as the panty hose in the back of his drawer. He was transgender, and the woman inside needed to get out.
This is the journey of a girl in a man’s body and her road to self-actualization as a woman amidst the PTSD of war, family rejection and our society’s strict gender rules and perceptions. It is about a fight to be free inside one’s own body, a fight that requires the strength of a Warrior Princess.
Kristin’s story of boy to woman explores the tangled emotions of the transgender experience and opens up a new dialogue about being male or female: Is gender merely between your legs or is it something much bigger?
School-sponsored cross-dressing day at elementary school causes controversy

Last Friday’s cross-dressing day at a Milwaukee elementary school proved contentious.
The school-sponsored event was one of the theme days during school spirit week at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities. While the themes for each of the other days were sufficiently milquetoast, Gender Bender Day — as it was originally named — raised a few parental eyebrows.
When we were going through Grandma's pictures we found photos of her dad and 3 brothers dressed as women. This would have been around 1920, after two served in WWI. They all rode Harleys or Indians and were known to be a tough lot, never have figured that picture out. Same way I guess I'll never understand this trans-gender thing.............to each their own I guess. :dry:

Actually in that timeframe that was very common to attend parties and events dressed as man/woman and woman/man. It was just a fad or something a lot of people did, often they dressed up as move stars, the man dressing like his fav female actor and vice versa. There was nothing attached to other than it was just something folks did for kicks.
And yes, they are 4 in heels!
