Soon after being sentenced by a military judge to 35 years behind bars for leaking US diplomatic cables and other evidence of war crimes, the person formerly known as Pfc Bradley Manning announced to the world that she - not he - would from now on like to be referred to as, "Chelsea". After being called everything from hero to traitor, Manning announced she wanted to be called something else: a woman.
"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female," Manning said in a statement.

Al Jazerra?
No, even most of them would probably spit on him.
Bradley you’re a traitor. Doesn’t matter if you’re straight, gay, lesbian, queer, bi, transgender, transexual, whatever. And I don’t care what you want us to call you.
You’re still a traitor. Bradley.
“given that surgery and hormones”
Well look at the bright side of that, at least he won’t be able to reproduce.
Based on the article and the pic by the byline, I’m thinking Charles Davis has a, shall we say, “vested interest” in the matter of Bradley Manning’s orientation.
Maybe it can answer the age old mystery how a man with a Jay Leno chin can father a daughter with no chin.
Wow, Charles really has his panties in a wad. Showing off for the new boss?
Not on my dime !
Mystery solved.
I'll be sure to thank my Muslims captors the next time I'm beheaded...
Oh, what a tangled Web we weave ....
That’s why he/she is doing it now, so it’ll be on your dime and free as the wind for him/her.
Homosexual Demon Possession PING!
