“He is a man and always will be”
A. Lincoln nailed this point before a jury. There was an issue of semantics.
Abe said, “Suppose you’ve got a dog with four legs.
“Suppose further that you agree to call his tail a leg.
“How many legs does that dog have then?”
“He’s still got four legs. Calling a tail a leg don’t make it a leg.”
This illustrated his point and allowed the jury to decide in his favor.
I don’t think our 16th president would `get’ the 21st century.

Im not up to speed with the politics of this case. But if the Army isnt violating a law or military regulation by referring to Manning as a man, then this Army appeals court is wrongly legislating such a law from the bench imo.

Manning has XY chromosomes?
“He” it is!

Someday science may advance to the point where you can take a dog and surgically alter it to look like a horse. It can run around the yard all day saying neigh, neigh , neigh!!!. That wont make it a little horse. It will just be a really weird dog. My dog has been known to run around the yard barking until he is a little "hoarse"... ;)

I’ll bet it’s enlistment contract says it’s a man. Was that fraudulent enlistment?

If "Chelsea" Manning committed a crime and left DNA behind, would investigators be looking for a man or a woman?You are still trapped in the gender binary. They would be looking for a "suspect."

Yes, it denotes a gender, neuter. Of course, my father, a soft-spoken Presbyterian minister, not given to cussing, years ago when the rubbish of replacing sex with gender was just getting started, proposed that the right pronoun to get rid of “gender discrimination” was “s/h/it”. Perhaps future filings could take up his suggestion when a pronoun is needed in reference to Private Manning.
(Of course I’m still waiting for whoever set up the protocols so that an Army PFC with a security clearance could access diplomatic cables to be thrown in the stockade in a cell next to Manning.)
