The Bureau of Prisons has rejected the Army’s request to accept the transfer of national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning from the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to a civilian facility where she could get better treatment for her gender-identify condition. The military will instead begin the initial treatment for her.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has approved the Army’s recommendation to keep Manning in military custody and start a rudimentary level of gender treatment, a defense official said Thursday. The initial gender treatments could include allowing Manning to wear some female undergarments and also possibly provide some hormone treatments. […]

Manning has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the sense of being a woman in a man's body. Civilian prisons can provide treatment, and the Defense Department has argued repeatedly that it doesn’t have the medical expertise needed.

“gender dysphoria, the sense of being a woman in a man’s body”

I smell BS. But be that as it may, does it make any sense to treat a mental disorder that has no organic origin,with what essentially is cosmetic surgery?

In the end what does it accomplish other than to give in to the “patient’s” delusions? The result, of course, is that if normal, sane people don’t go along with the delusions, they are penalized.

There must be a few farm boys on active duty who have experience in "gelding"?

It should not cost the taxpayer very much.

Explain the entire procedure to PVT Manning and just possibly, he/she/it may change his/her mind, thereby saving everyone a lot of hassle.

This ain’t my Uncle Bob’s Army.

He served in Viet Nam as a First Sgt. and is buried in Arlington. He passed away around 11 or 12 years ago during surgery.

The man was hardcore and I’m 100% certain this crap would have made him angry.
