   'I destroyed my life. I'm not a victim. I did this to myself, but I had   
   help,' retired Navy SEAL said   
      
   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 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," he continued. "I went on CNN and everything   
   else, and that’s why I’m here right now. I’m trying to correct that."   
      
   Beck gained notoriety in 2013 when he spoke with CNN’s Anderson Cooper   
   about transitioning to a woman.   
      
   "I was 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 during the interview.   
      
   Beck served in the Navy for 20 years, including on SEAL Team Six. He was   
   deployed 13 times and received more than 50 medals and ribbons for his   
   service.   
      
   Beck said he’s speaking out about transgenderism to protect children in   
   the current political climate, that there are gender clinics "over all of   
   America."   
      
   "There are thousands of gender clinics being put up over all of America,"   
   he said. "As soon as [kids] go in and say, 'I'm a tomboy' or 'This makes   
   me feel comfortable,' and then a psychologist says, 'Oh, you're   
   transgender.' And then the next day, you’re on hormones – the same   
   hormones they are using for medical castration for pedophiles. Now, they   
   are giving this to healthy 13-year-olds."   
      
   "Does this seem right?" he asked. "This is why I am trying to tell America   
   to wake up."

   TRANSITIONS: ‘PROTECT YOUR DAUGHTERS’   
      
   Beck said that when he began transitioning, it took just an hour-long   
   meeting at Veterans Affairs to be offered hormones.   
      
   "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," Beck said.   
      
   "I had so much going wrong in my system when I started taking those," he   
   added. "Some of that was paid for by the VA, and I’m sorry to the American   
   people that I did that."   
      
   Beck said he has been off the hormones for about seven years now.   
      
   "This is a billion-dollar industry between psychologists, between   
   surgeries, between hormones, between chemicals, between follow-up   
   treatments," he continued. "There are thousands of gender clinics popping   
   up all over our country. And each of those gender clinics is going to be   
   pulling in probably over $50 million."   
      
   Fox News Digital reached out to Beck and CNN on Sunday but did not   
   immediately receive replies.
