Bradley Manning To Serve Prison Sentence as Female, Chelsea Manning

This is definitely going to be a challenge for the U.S Army! He made his statement on NBC’s TODAY:

Bradley Manning, the Army private sentenced to military prison for leaking classified documents, revealed he intends to live out the remainder of his life as a woman.

“I am Chelsea Manning. I am female,” the Army private wrote in a statement read on TODAY Thursday. “Given the way that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will support me in this transition.”



Manning, 25, was sentenced to 35 years in prison on Wednesday after having been found guilty of 20 charges ranging from espionage to theft for leaking more than 700,000 documents to the WikiLeaks website while working in Iraq in 2010.

“I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility),” he continued in the statement. “I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back.”…

Well, I guess that's one way to get the sex change operation paid for!

Manning is still a soldier and is in a military prison. So, the chance that he will get what he wants while in prison in nil.

He will make some other prisoner a good wife.

Well, that is one way that Manning can play the part of a woman.
