I wasn't in Leavenworth. His existence must be absolute hell right now with that biological clock ticking like that. I'm being dead serious now. That's got to absolutely suck, and honestly, I seriously believe he will attempt suicide more than once. That's the sad truth.

yup. they said he's going to get counseling though- because that's provided for any prisoner. also, supposedly united states law means unless you've had srs you're housed in the prison of your born-gender.

A very interestin' book about Manning.
And she has wanted to transition into a woman for quite some time now.
I hope they stop questioning her motives. As a whistleblower one's motives are irrelevant. I mean, she witnessed a crime -- by her own government -- and she told someone. Under International Law one is obligated to tell someone... if they witness their own government committing crimes. So, she would've broken international law if she had stayed silent. Well, most do stay silent.
Did she break some laws? Yes. But one should ask oneself: who makes the laws and what purposes do they serve.... Actually, who do they serve.
Not all laws are, of course, bad.
Again, she couldn't stay silent when she witnessed her own government committing crimes.
As Glenn Greenwald pointed out: we've been inculcated to think that politicians are above the law.
Point is: nobody is above the law. And Manning understood that. I mean, she reported a crime.

regardless if none of this happened, if he was a regular joe soldier and wanted to transition...

he still would NOT be able to. that's why I got out of the Navy. They now let Gays and Lesbians in, but NOT transgender.

In Thailand their heads are shaved, their given mens clothes and thrown in with the men! :-/.. quite cruel. Very degrading!
