A 'refreshing' look at transition...in that it does not go into the gory details. There are no bloody operation scenes. There is no mental breakdown.
This is post-transition with reflections of days gone by...
Kristin Beck - ex-Navy Seal and the least likely person in the world to transition - tells her story, calmly, reflectively.
There is no doubt...that she is - now - a better and happier person - despite her sacrifices...the children.
If you are in any doubt about transition - here's the story to change your mind. An alpha-male who had everything...yet, nothing.
Over the past few years, there has been a dirge of trans-stories...most fall into the quagmire of self-publicity and pedestrian formula...
However, some trans stories deserve to be told...this is one of them.
