Transgender advocates said it should not be up to the US military to decide if Bradley Manning gets hormone therapy after the jailed US serviceman revealed he wanted a sex change.

A day after being sentenced for leaking classified material, Bradley Manning revealed that he was hoping to have a sex change.
In a written statement read on NBC News's 'Today' programme, Manning said he wants to start hormone therapy as soon as possible and asked supporters to refer to him by his new name, Chelsea, and to use the feminine pronoun.
But Manning's demands may set up another legal fight - the army said it does not provide hormone treatment or sex-reassignment surgery

Transgender advocates said it should not be up to the army to decide if Manning gets hormone therapy.
"In the United States it is illegal to deny health care to prisoners. Now the Army can claim that this isn't health care, but they have the weight of the medical profession and science against them," said Mara Keisling from the US National Centre for Transgender Equality.....

Celebrate perversion!
Is hanging him for treason still illegal? It would be a lot cheaper than giving him a “sex-change” operation.
"I know I look like a man, but I feel I am a woman."
"So?"
"So you should cough up the money for my surgeries, and my hormone injections and all the rest! I have a right to change who I am! Just because I was born in a man's body doesn't mean I have to accept it! You are required to make this change happen!"
Just curious, what’s the fixation with this topic?
The Army has turned into a bunch of leftist, PC, idiots. They decided they needed gay soldiers, they decided they needed jihadi soldiers, they decided they don’t need Christians any more, they deserve every ounce of what they have coming to them.
What freakin’ asshat doctors decided that sex change was healthcare and not detrimental treatment?
I very much doubt he’ll be placed in the general population at USDB. He’s way too much of a cause célèbre and they know what kind of bad press they’d get for allowing him to get hurt or killed. And I’d bet you anything he’ll get that surgery/treatment before the year is up.
we live in a tyranny where the right thing to do is always illegal
I’ll be more than happy to perform a sex change operation on this traitor.
Unfortunately my hunting knife is too sharp.
I know 750, 000 reasons why the Army should hold to the letter of the punishment.
If he was at room temp we wouldn’t be having this conversation would we? /s?
They have prisoners who act and “look” *ahem* like women.
Ever see an episode of “Locked Up” or was it called something else??
I'm betting one who is associated with the US National Centre for Transgender Equality.
I was the same Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) as this POS so his case mystifies me. I never knew anyone in military intelligence like this fool, which tells me how far we’ve fallen.
Think of all the money and research that goes to having the most powerful military in the world, yet our military is being taken over not by a superior fighting force but by a different kind of war. It is a war of ideas and mind control. You cannot fight against this war with fighter planes, guns or any military weapon. We watched the physical symbol of Communism-the Berlin Wall—fall down and we thought that we had won the war but today we have more communist and communist lite propaganda than the Russian people had ever had to endure.
Satan is the father of lies, this is who we are dealing with. Adam and Eve were brought down by a lie and that lie continues under many forms even to the present day.
Well if he’s placed in the general prison population, he WILL BE big Leroy’s girlfriend. Why on earth does he need a sex change? He’s just a fag anyway. That the US government will spend a hundred thousand dollars giving him a sex change is the dumbest thing in the world. But Obama will have no problem with pleasing this sodomite, hell he loves them. Bradley will be Chelsea before he’s been in Leavenworth a year. Obama will once again be hailed as a the great hero of this belittled 2% of the population, aka faggots. Our tax dollars will go to make this little son-of-bitch happen, when he shot of been for treason.
