Retired Navy SEAL speaks out about being transgender.

Kristin Beck is a very unique person. One reason is because she was one of the elite few who were strong enough to become a Navy SEAL. What makes her very unique, is because she is transgender as well. She’s written a book about her experiences titled Warrior Princess: A U.S. Navy SEAL’s Journey to Coming Out Transgender. 

She recently did an interview with Anderson Cooper, and said this very chilling line: “You don’t have to like me, I don’t care. But please don’t kill me.” Check out the video after the jump.

Right now there isn’t a single open, out and proud player in the NFL. However that might change very soon.

Alan Gendreau had a pretty good career in college as former Middle Tennessee State placekicker. As a Blue Raider, he became the all-time leading scorer in the history of the Sun Belt Conference, and kicked the second-longest field goal of the conference at 55 yards. Which is not to say he can’t make the longer kicks. The record is 67 yards, which is still shorter than kicks he made in high school. He continues to regularly practice drilling 60+ yard kicks, right between the posts.
