Bradley Manning Wants To Live As a Woman

Hugh Pickens DOT Com writes "Reuters reports that Bradley Manning, the U.S. soldier sentenced to 35 years in military prison for the biggest breach of classified documents in the nation's history, says he is female and wants to live as a woman named Chelsea. 'As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me. I am Chelsea Manning, I am a female,' Manning, 25, said in the statement read by anchorwoman Savannah Guthrie on NBC News' "Today" show. 'Given the way that I feel and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,' Manning said. 'I also request that starting today you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun.' A psychiatrist, Navy Reserve Captain David Moulton, testified during Manning's trial that Manning suffered from gender dysphoria, or wanting to be the opposite sex, as well as narcissism and obsessive-compulsive disorder."

    So do many Slashdotters and yet who are we to judge?

    He will never be a woman unless they can go in at the cellular level and change his Y chromosomes to X chromosomes.

    Sex is biologically determined. It is not a social construct. To pretend otherwise is to ignore biological science for the sake of political correctness.

    It's relevant because he's also the person who recently apologized for serving the country (rather than the government). Common sense tells me that while there's nothing immoral or illogical about being gay, a man who claims he's actually a woman (or undergoes surgery in an attempt to change the unchangeable) has at least a few screws loose.

    In other words, his much-touted apology (and what it might have stood for) was meaningless.

    Who is Chelsea Manning? She is just a woman going to jail. Nobody knows her. She is not a household name, not a symbol.

    Shouldn't it be Chelsea Womanning?
