Chelsea Manning, the US army soldier serving 35 years in prison for leaking a huge stash of state secrets, has won a small but significant victory in her bid to transition to living as a woman.

Manning has taken on the might of the US military, challenging its ongoing refusal to refer to her as a woman, and won. A court order from the US army court of criminal appeals instructs the military to refer to the soldier in all future official correspondence either using the gender neutral “Private First Class Manning” or employing the feminine pronoun.

As a result, the military is henceforth forbidden from referring to Manning as a man...

“It” is mentally ill.

Call that thing, IT?

[Chainmail]

“It” should’ve been executed.

[Thunder90]

I bet that Manning will be pardoned by Obama on his way out...

[Tanniker Smith]

Well, there’s an unbiased court for you.

[Mastador1]

Not he? How about IT, I always thought that would be more appropriate.

[IronJack]

“It” is mentally ill.

Naw, homeboy, you got it all wrong! WE are the ones who are mentally ill because we believe that humanoid creatures with penises and XY chromosomes are males. That is such horse-and-buggy thinking ...!

“Private First Class Manning”

That should be “Prisoner Manning” not PFC.

[norton]

How's about "former PFC Bradley Manning" [adding prisoner where appropriate].

That would sum it up pretty well.

[JimRed]

It is an IT!

Does GOPUSA have to pander to this travesty by the use of feminine pronouns when referring to a mentally ill MALE ?

Disgusting.
