On Monday night, the AP sent an advisory to subscriber editors — which is essentially all professional journalists — that it would “henceforth use Pvt. Chelsea E. Manning and female pronouns for the soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning, in accordance with her wishes to live as a woman.” The rationale was that reporters should use “the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.”

Manning is a mentally ill human being being used by the media to push the homofacist agenda.

Put him in with Bubba and he can live as a woman all he likes. I am sure Bubba doesn’t mind referring to him as his wife.

If I was in Manning’s position, I would do the same thing. He is going to get his dick cut off either way he goes. Better to be alive in a women’s prison I suppose. Ouch.

Isn’t this person (traitor) obviously Bradley Manning until a legal name change? Isn’t journalism supposed to be about the facts as known rather than wishes?

I could see this coming... last week on the McLaughlin Group, left winger Eleanor Rodham Clift called him “Chelsea Manning” during the discussion.

At this point, I am hoping that Private Manning does everyone a favor and hangs himself in his cell. Sure, the left would like it, because they could imagine him a “martyr” (to what?, cross gender traitors?)

But the rest of us would no longer be burdened with ever hearing his name again.
