Military judge contradicts Obama admin on Chelsea Manning dick size

[Kuya]

Why is it out of the left field? He's going to jail and it's known (when media was trying to explain away what he did) he has issues with his body.

So you saw this coming? I certainly didn't /shrug

[Rhinox]

It was out of left field.

Kuya's gaydar is military grade don't you know

[mightyg]

If you'd actually been paying attention to this story and not reading excerpts, you'd know this wasn't out of left field. Naturally it's not specifically related to the facts of the case, but does shed a little light on Manning as a person, and the context in which he decided to leak the files.

If Kuya's gaydar was military grade, he would have been surprised like the rest of you numbnuts.

[kuronosan]

Does it really fucking matter if he wants to be Mr. or Ms. Manning at this point? What the hell does this have to do with the verdict or the fact that we committed some serious fucking crimes?

[archibaldcrane]

People didn't know that Bradley Manning had gender identity disorder?



...um, weird.


Good call going for Chelsea - Breanna is a fucking drag queen name.

What

[hey]

Article opens with the fact that she's a woman, then continues to use "he" and "Bradley".

That doesn't surprise you, does it?

[Rhinox]

I just hope tax payer money ain't being used for the sex change again.

[Rhinox]

If she wants hrt let her wait till he gets out and people who think she's a national hero can start a kickstarter for her.

Manning will likely serve his sentence at Fort Leavenworth, the only military prison for service members sentenced to 10 or more years, a Military District of Washington spokesperson told The Associated Press. The facility does not provide hormone therapy or sex-reassignment surgery for gender identity issues but does provide psychiatric care, a Fort Leavenworth spokeswoman told Courthouse News.

Looks like she'll have to wait her 9+ years to have a shot at that.

[kuronosan]

Leavenworth is a shithole.

[mallister]

Well, yeah that's sort of the point.

Granted I'm cis scum and all but I still never got the thing with the transgender ops being paid for in prison. While I'm sure that it's fucking awful living in a body that you feel isn't yours, there's still that thing about being a prisoner because you were convicted of a felony and maybe you should just have to dill with things since you're being punished.

[Kuya]

Granted I'm cis

lol

Sure, but you could make this argument for any health issue.

[Callisto]

And I just might!

[hey]

And I just might!

You are insane.

[Blubbartron]

She has a mental health issue. You can't die from wanting to change your gender really, really badly. We don't give a shit about prisoners' mental health otherwise, so I'm not sure why this particular issue gets special treatment.
