From Chris to Kristin – A Navy SEAL’s Secret airs TONIGHT at 10:00pm ET & PT

CNN’s Anderson Cooper interviews a veteran of the U.S. Navy SEALs about the transition from being a masculine special forces military fighter, to a feminine woman.

Christopher Beck served in some of the most dangerous battlegrounds in the world, including Iraq and Afghanistan, earning the Bronze Star, a Purple Heart and other honors along the way. But for 20 years while Beck was fighting for his country, he was also fighting an inner battle over his identity. He wanted to live his life as a woman. After retiring in 2011, Beck made the transition and is now Kristin Beck. She tells her story of courage after her service in battle exclusively to Cooper.

Anderson Cooper Special Report: From Chris to Kristin – A Navy SEAL’s Secret airs Friday, June 14 at 10:00pm and 1:00am, and on Saturday, June 15 at 8:00pm and 11:00pm. All times Eastern.
