8:59Now PlayingKristin Beck is a retired Navy SEAL and she has some strong words for Trump. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, and Grace Baldridge, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you about the transgender SEAL who’s against Trump’s transgender military ban. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“A retired Navy SEAL Team 6 hero who is transgender had a message for President Donald Trump after he announced the US military would bar transgender people from serving.
"Let's meet face to face and you tell me I'm not worthy," Kristin Beck, a 20-year veteran of the Navy SEALs, told Business Insider on Wednesday. "Transgender doesn't matter. Do your service."
Beck said Trump's abrupt change in policy could negatively affect many currently or wanting to serve in the military. The RAND Corporation estimated in 2016 that there were between 1,320 and 6,630 transgender people serving. Many of them just want to serve their country like everyone else, Beck said.
"Being transgender doesn't affect anyone else," Beck said. "We are liberty's light. If you can't defend that for everyone that's an American citizen, that's not right.”
