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.

Chelsea Manning another victim of the Conservative War on Women!

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.
