Army Private Chelsea Manning, the convicted source of the biggest intelligence leak in U.S. military history, began a hunger strike Friday over what she described as “constant and overzealous administrative scrutiny by prison and military officials.”
Manning, 28, who is serving time in a federal prison in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, said in a statement released by her supporters that she will consume only water and prescription medicines starting Friday morning, and will forgo voluntarily cutting her hair.
The incarcerated soldier said her protest is aimed at prompting officials to recognize her need for treatment, especially with respect to gender dysphoria, the medically recognized condition of identifying with a gender opposite to one’s biological sex.
Manning publicly revealed herself as transgender in August 2013 the day after she was sentenced to 35 years in prison for convictions related to providing the website WikiLeaks with hundreds of thousands of military and State Dept. documents.

From the article:
The incarcerated soldier said her protest is aimed at prompting officials to recognize her need for treatment, especially with respect to gender dysphoria, the medically recognized, insane condition of identifying with a gender opposite to one’s biological sex.
Thank you Bradley for not eating and saving some of our taxpayer dollars.

He may actually just be gaming the system.
Hunger strikers can be forcefully fed via enema.

That “constant and overzealous administrative scrutiny” is probably the only thong keeping you alive, you freak.

It is too bad the July 5th attempt wasn’t successful. It would have saved taxpayers lots of money on hormone treatments for this fag, Bradley Manning.
