* Manning says being forced to keep her hair a 2 inches makes her feel like a 'freak and a weirdo'

Transgender whistleblower Chelsea Manning is suing the army because she 'feels like a freak' after being forced to have a two-inch prison haircut.

The 27-year-old soldier, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for leaking thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks, broke down in tears after the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth ordered her to cut her hair.

Manning, who was born as a man named Bradley, claims she has identified as a woman since childhood and had been receiving access to hormone therapy, speech therapy and cosmetics while in prison....

Yet we executed Private Eddie Slovik?

Slovik is a great story. That fool had so many ways to avoid the firing squad and he chose poorly every time

[FlingWingFlyer]

He needs his commie lib @$$ kicked.

[Gay State Conservative]

Hate to break it to ya,Brad but you *are* a freak and a weirdo.

Regardless of the length of your hair.

[ErnBatavia]

Why does the press keep calling him (and Bruce) "her"?

Chemistry and cutlery do not change gender.

[Ouderkirk]

Yes...and we should execute this POS too.

[jazusamo]

Bradley’s hair length has nothing to do with him being a “freak and a weirdo.”

[Stormdog]

“Manning says being forced to keep her hair a 2 inches makes her feel like a ‘freak and a weirdo’”

He is only feeling what he actually is.

[gaijin]

Naw, too easy.

[a fool in paradise]

Chelsea Moaning Morning is traitor who is lucky to still be alive.

she

When an article calls a man "she" and "her", I immediately stop reading. You know at that point nothing but BS is to follow.

[Sasparilla]

This freak is the poster whatever for a freak.

[Cheerio]

The Ballad of Brad Manning
Come listen to a story about an it named Brad
A poor private queer, man but he was sad,
Ohhh kayyy
Like `Chelsea’, this isn’t going anywhere,
at least until Barry gives him/her/it a pardon
and his phone number.

[Steely Tom]

Luke Sissyfag might be able to get involved with this.

[rdl6989]

Yes Bradley, you are a freak and a weirdo.

[VRWC For Truth]

Just hang the POS traitor ...

[mass55th]

Bradley, you're not in prison so you can be attractive to the opposite same sex.

[ScottWalkerForPresident2016]

"Manning, who was born as a man named Bradley, claims she has identified as a woman since childhood and had been receiving access to hormone therapy, speech therapy and cosmetics while in prison." This is really sickening. Why are the taxpayers footing the bill for this nonsense? Why should a prisoner receive anything other than basic health care they need to live? What's next, a rhinoplasty for a convicted murderer serving life?

[euram]

Bradley is already a freak and a weirdo, what difference does a haircut make?
