The Bureau of Prisons has rejected the Armys 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 Armys 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 doesnt have the medical expertise needed. As a result, the Army tried to work out a plan to transfer Manning to a federal prison.

Unless you were born blind and without hands it's pretty easy to find out for yourself!
“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.
“So our government has money to pay for his sexual preferences but not those in the VA?”
Yea, they pay for this deviant shit but try to stop paying my Korean War veteran fathers measely benefit?
Damn these democrats!!!!
So we will be paying to have his schmeckel sliced off.
It’s called a “lopitoffofme”!
I know a lot of people who would volunteer to do the job for free
Sex change AX?
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.
sick stuff...the income tax needs to be eliminated..we are being destroyed by our own money!
“Lorena Bobbitt, please report to surgery, STAT”
R they lookin for volunteers to assist in fixing what God messed up?
Let him out in Gen Pop. They’ll make a woo-man out of him in no time. . .
then sometime in the future Manning will sue the government saying they experimented on him
But the army won’t pay for braces for teeth.
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.
Amazing. Comit a crime and get out of it by cutting your *ick off and getting gubment to pay for it.
Wake me up when the nightmare is over.
