his chromosomes claim that he’s a man regardless of any surgical or hormonal alterations.

ya know, you are right. This calls for a massive government program to develop a treatment thru recombinant dna.

i remember how bush kept the dna stocks limited by federal decree. but when he left office, an executive order changed all that and they cured micheal j fox of parkisons.

As a friend of mine pointed out recently, the New York (Slime)Times, other sewer media and (alleged) “academia” are prime keepers of The Sacred Book of Political Correctness. The obnoxious characteristic about political correctness? Politically correct speech seeks thru various intimidations (“racist”, “sexist”, “homophobe” and now “Islamophobe”) to make people feel compelled to say things they simply know are NOT true. Private Bradley (err… Chelsea) Manning is the case in point here… but also in recent times, the constant insistence “Religion of peace” (should be pieces!)

PC is a form of Fascism (and the true hate speech) that seeks to control what people are allowed to say with the goal of controlling how they think (any opposing expression is by definition “racist”, “hateful”, etc.)... maybe first described in George Orwell’s novel “1984” as “newspeak”. Newspeak (aka: PC) was designed to so limit and restrict the language that any opposition to “Big Brother” would have no words to even express.

NY(slime)T, DemWits among others of their ilk, have long brewed the PC Kool-Aid and seek to force all to drink their PC poison. PC is a poison as sure as cyanide or maybe a virulent contagious pathogen. I return to my friend’s insightful quote: “Politically correct speech seeks to make people feel compelled to say things they simply know are not true.” This (oh the rusty irony!) starts with the PC term “Progressive”... I and many observe they are anything but progressive! As we have observed these last five years (and thru history), with the worsening economy, race relations and society in general, progress is NOT possible with “Progressives” in charge! Bottom line tis all the Devil’s business!

I was going for “the incredibly good-looking super-genius.”

I think we should all announce similar name changes and if we’re ever interviewed by the paper, we should demand to be called by our new names.

Technically, in the US Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, he will likely be referred to as “Private”, and perhaps by his assigned number.

N.B.: he should have a fun time of it, as the majority of convicts at Leavenworth are there for sex crimes.

No reason not to change his last name as well. I say he should go for it: Chelsea Clinton. I’d contribute to a fund that pays him if he does it.

Imagine the headlines ...

Chelsea Clinton still in jail.
Chelsea Clinton a traitor to the US.
Chelsea Clinton demands sex change surgery.
Chelsea Clinton undergoes hormone adjustment.
Chelsea Clinton receives therapy for severe mental disturbance.
Chelsea Clinton diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder.
Chelsea Clinton blames all problems on parents.
Chelsea Clinton desperate for attention.
Chelsea Clinton fades from memory.
Where are they now: Chelsea Clinton

What’s his new middle initial? I’ll bet it’s C for Clinton.

And if he demanded we call him Napoleon they’d be mocking him.
Sorry... So long as you have the sex organs you’re STILL a man.

What if Chelsea Manning went into the ladies room in public in front of little girls? Do we arrest him for delinquency with a minor or tell the kid that men in the bathroom is ok? Y’know... Until that non consensual relationship thingy happens?

In other news, the New York Times will call George Costanza, “T-Bone”, in accordance with his wishes.

LOL! It’s hard to believe now, but back in the ‘60s when I was in school the New York Times was considered a credible, even top-notch, newspaper.

That's a great post right there. Political correctness is indeed another facet of fascism.

Here in America the National Socialist Democrat Workers Party (Nationalsozialistische Democrat Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP or simply “the Nazi Party”, or even more simply “the Democrats”) use strongarm tactics to remove Christianity from public view, populate the universities and newsrooms to rewrite history and propagandize the daily news, attack traditional cultural institutions like marriage, the nuclear family, and even the Boy Scouts, and personally destroy scientists and professors who do not toe the line with regard to Democrat Party doctrine on abortion, embryonic stem cells, the environment, and “global warming”.

Naturally, imposing rationed state-controlled health care on the masses, using murdered school children to push "gun control", threatening to suppress opposing opinion and free speech through a “fairness doctrine”, speech control through "political correctness", and using quasi-terrorist tactics to stonewall any attempt to roll back socialism (for example, legislators in Wisconsin fleeing the state with a clap on the back from Fuhrer Ubama in order to prevent a vote on pending legislation) perfectly fits the modus operandi of America's own 21st century Nazi party.

In other words, America’s Democrats are operating in EXACTLY the same way the original version of their party operated in Germany during the 1930s.

“Traitor” would be the proper form of address.

I prefer to be called “The Wise and Fearsome King of the Universe VanShuyten.”

I would insist that the NY Times refer to me as the Queen of France, and that their reporters call me "your Highness" while kneeling before me.
