Bradley Manning Comes Out as Transgender

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me,” Manning said. “I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible.”

Not Helping

Not helping the community at all... Right or wrong, what Private Manning did was against the oath that was sworn. The court was pretty lenient in the whole scheme of things. I am a little bothered by the idea of the government having to pick up the tab for treatment inside quite frankly. I would hope that there would probably be isolation for the Private anyway... It would have been dangerous in there regardless of this circumstance. I do hope proper counseling is available... and maybe hormones, but definitely no more than that in my opinion.
