Bradley Manning, the Army private sentenced to military prison for leaking classified documents, revealed he intends to live out the remainder of his life as a woman.
“I am Chelsea Manning. I am female,” the Army private wrote in a statement read on TODAY Thursday. “Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.”
Manning, 25, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Wednesday after having been found guilty of 20 charges ranging from espionage to theft for leaking more than 700,000 documents to the WikiLeaks website while working in Iraq in 2010.
“I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility),” he continued in the statement. “I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back.”
Manning signed the letter “Chelsea E. Manning.”

Absolutely ridiculous that the government got involved in promoting these pervs rathan than protecting me and my children and my grandchildren from them.
He’ll get his wish, granted by the other inmates.
Boy, that is messed up.
So join the military & let them pay for it??
Disgusting.
And 0bummer has the US Military celebrating it, now. America is so screwed.
This traitorous little bastard will now claim to be tortured by being locked up as a man and beg obama to set him free.
We truly live in bizzare times.
May as well do it in the slammer so WE can pay for it
Did the statement make it on the air via some official channels? If so, why was that allowed?
This is Obamas military. Let us not forget: After this fag was busted, what did Obama do? Get DADT immediately overturned. Why? Because when he saw the damage one fag could do he wanted more of them ASAP. Gay men cannot serve for the simple fact they do not have the mentality for it. They get very bitchy, what they call “bitch snits” which is exactly what happened with Manning. Not all of them do, but enough where it’s a factor and it’s WHY they’ve been banned in the past because the military experts KNEW about the mentality of fags. But Clinton and Obama, two fools who never served a day, know more than the hundreds of thousands of military experts from the past 240 years
So, does this mean “Chelsea” will be housed in an all female prison?
Oh boy, will he ever.
