Could that be because he's STILL a man named Bradley? Because nothing has changed? I can put out a press release claiming that I'm henceforth Pope Tennessee Tuxedo I and that I'll be ruling the Vatican from my space station orbiting Mars, but that doesn't make it true!

So Mohammed Ali was a transexual?
I did not know that.

Is it just me or does Bradley Manning in drag look like Tonya Harding ?

[Netz]

He can call himself whatever name he chooses and he can say he's “Tri-sexual” for all I care. The important thing is to let him/her rot in jail until he decides he's a leprechaun...

[GeronL]

I am not confused at all. Bradley Manning is the one who is confused.

Salon is like the Moonbat shuttle control.

we decide what gender someone is

I've always considered "gender" a grammatical term, specifically referring to nouns in languages other than English. Put Chelsea in the "neuter" column.

[Pollster1]

I don’t care how a mentally ill man feels about his “gender identity”. I don’t care what kind of gender mood a mentally ill man feels on a particular day. A person with XY chromosomes will be he/him and a person with XX chromosomes will be she/her. The rare hermaphrodite and the rare XXY are special cases, but gender identity confusion does not justify spreading the confusion to language.

[La Lydia]

I don’t care what he calls himself as long as my tax dollars aren’t used to pay for his freakazoid medical treatment.

[Travis McGee]

Every cell in his body will be a male cell until the day he dies, and even after that.

He's just a psychotic little man with serious mental problems.

Yep, just as Cassius Clay was always Mohammed's name. I bet his parents were thrilled with the name change(not). My mom would have beat me silly had I changed my name like that, no matter how old I was.
