Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman
Today News ^ | 22 Aug 13 | Scott Stump

Posted on 08/22/2013 5:40:32 AM PDT by LSUfan

Bradley Manning, the Army private sentenced to military prison for leaking classified documents, revealed he intends to live out the remainder of his life as a woman.

“I am Chelsea Manning. I am female,” the Army private wrote in a statement read on TODAY Thursday. “Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.”

Manning, 25, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Wednesday after having been found guilty of 20 charges ranging from espionage to theft for leaking more than 700,000 documents to the WikiLeaks website while working in Iraq in 2010.

“I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility),” he continued in the statement. “I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back.”

True. I think he will probably get a similar fate to what Ned Beatty’s poor character had in “Deliverance”.

Manning is probably hearing banjo music as we speak.

Well, Bradley, while you’re in prison, you’ll definitely play the part of the woman!

“Who is going to pay for his hormone therapy?

...and the future gender reassignment surgery.”

Why the taxpayer of course. And the sequester won’t affect it at all.

A guy with a bad credit rating because he went through a messy divorce would have been disqualified, but somehow this deviant passes the psych evaluation?

Yes, ironic how in Homeland, Carrie Mathison goes to extreme lengths to hide her bi-polar condition, yet this freak paraded his extreme mental illness for all to see, confident that no one could touch him or limit his top clearance with the LBGT mafia in firm control of the DOJ.

When I first got a security clearance in the 1980’s, I had to answer questions about any past homosexual experiences I may have had....back then it was quite obvious that being gay was indeed a security risk.

I bet the questions have changed a bit by now.

Me thinks his dance card is pretty full for the 2013 and 2014 prison schedule.

Exactly. Don’t forget the homoizing the military would have been blocked had the GOP leadership been willing to filibuster it during that lameduck session in December 2010.

Perhaps he turned traitor knowing he would get all of the medical asisstance he needs to become a lady-boy on the taxpayers dime.

“I am Chelsea Manning.”

-Call yourself what ever you want to around the cell block, dude.

“I am female,”

-No. No, you’re not.

Oh, I thought he was emulating that middle aged talk show chick.

And that ladies and gentleman is how you get the taxpayers to pay for your perversion.

A psychological weirdo like manning would not be screened-out. Who do you think would do the screening? Psychologists. The American Psychological Association finds people like manning “normal” and in need of support. Many psychologists are “that way”...living and supporting the perv life.
