    Jan is remarkably better looking than Ian, and that is stating something.

    Old Chestnut: '"raises serious constitutional concerns."

    Not providing medically necessary care for the treatment of gender dysphoria violates the 8th Amendment of the Constitution, i.e. cruel and unusual punishment.) "Where inmates have been denied care, courts have said that’s unconstitutional," Jennifer Levi, director of the Transgender Rights Project at Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders, told The Washington Post's Sarah Kliff. Adds Levi: "The fact that it is military prison does not absolve the government of its responsibility to provide adequate medical care." Manning's lawyer David Coombs told the Today show this morning that he's "hoping" Fort Leavenworth will "do the right thing" and provide the therapy.

    Psychological Treatment: Likely. Even if Manning won't get her requested hormones, the U.S. military has reiterated that it does provide psychological services for all inmates. "All inmates are considered soldiers and are treated as such with access to mental health professionals, including a psychiatrist, psychologist, social workers and behavioral science non-commissioned officers with experience in addressing the needs of military personnel in pre- and post-trial confinement," Leavenworth spokesman Lewis explained in her statement to Courthouse News.


    For over 15 years?

    Right, and he isn't going to be subject to the US Legal Code while he is incarcerated. He will still be subject to the UCMJ which operates under an entirely different set of rules.

    When Fort Leavenworth say they don't provide, does that mean they don't allow? I'm quite sure Team Manning can afford to pay for his reassignment.

    In military lingo, it means it won't be allowed.

    Of an active duty military member undergoing gender reassignment therapy? Or specifically in regards to an inmate at a military prison?

    I have no idea. There may have been others who wanted it but didn't have the media circus surrounding them like Manning does.
