‘I am Chelsea Manning. I am female’
NBC ^ | 8-22-2013

Posted on 08/22/2013 8:24:01 AM PDT by markomalley

“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me,” Manning said in a statement read during an exclusive TODAY show interview with lawyer David Coombs. “I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way I have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible.”

While Fort Leavenworth, the prison where Manning will serve her sentence, does not offer hormone therapy, Coombs told host Savannah Guthrie he would fight to ensure his client received the medical treatment she needed. He also said he and Manning had not discussed sex reassignment surgery, and that getting her access to the needed hormones is his priority at this time.

Asked why Chelsea Manning had not made a statement about her gender before the trial was over, Coombs said, “She didn’t want this to be something that overshadowed the case.”

Once again, we see the political, societal and economic corruption wrought by homosexuals and sexual perversity.

Are you kidding ? I expect the WH to put out an executive order immediately ordering DOD to offer military personnel ‘gender reassignment’ therapies and/or surgery.

The Chinese and Russians must be LAUGHING THEIR ASSES OFF at the US military right how. Not to mention Al Qaeda.

“What are we so afraid of?” they have got to be asking themselves....

He will probably be in an all-female facility because of this. If I were going to spend the rest of my life in prison, I might prefer it to be all-female also.

Doesn’t our military do any screening of people with access to highly classified information?

Most likely, this fellow was screened IN.

This used to be called mental illness, but we are so much smarter than that today.

[ DNA don’t lie, you’re still a guy! ]

Until they can make tiny nano-machines or custome retroviruses that can go into each cell and “Man”-ipulate the DNA of every cell in the body then it will be very very weird brave new world... Not to mention the same machiens could change everything physically about someone and work like an internal 3-D printer altering the physical makeup of a person...

Then a Male could leave a “sperm deposit” then get converted...Then have a kid with their own sperm causing the creation of a family tree that looks like a POLE with a
horribly inbred child...

Welcome to the brave new world of future...

Cloning people in a test tube will look tame in comparison...

The Future wouldn’t look so bleak if we still adhered to moral common sense standards...

I have no doubt that he really does think he’s female, but he just is not.

That's SHE - SHE is just not. (NBC News style manual)

Yep - he was male at the instant of his conception, he’ll be male the day he dies.

A horribly-mutilated male, but male nonetheless.

All jidding aside, that is the genetic fact. It’s obvious and no scientist can ever refute it. So can someone explain why it is that no one opposing this crap (Talking groups/orgs here) makes it the single overarching point of their argument?

Why all the word games etc? Genetics are what they are. Make the libs argue against science, not scripture since they use that as a wedge and you cant appeal to something they don’t believe in. Make them argue science rather than psychology since feelings change but Genes don’t.

I just do not get it.

Because the people doing the debating are mentally lazy, and are afraid to mention science.

So now this confused individual will become much sought after by journalists. I only hope the army will restrict visits by the press.

For any liberal reading this. There is no such thing as a sex change operation. Sex is written in the chromosomes. No one can change his/her/its chromosomes. Taking hormones doesn’t change it. Cutting off or grafting organs doesn’t change it.

Will the army put him in a women’s prison? A men’s?

Regardless, he/she/it will be out of prison in 5 years.
