Check out the Change in my Signature

Then I would say it is unlikely but not impossible.

 

I'd say (and I did in another thread) it is next to impossible.

 

Do you think they will let him wear female clothing/make-up etc? ...and would they have to refer to him as 'Chelsea'?

 

No, not at all. He will be referred to as Pvt. Bradley Manning.

 

even if her name was legally changed?

 

Maybe they will call him Bradly Womanning.

 

I am not sure if he even would be allowed to do that.

 

Agreed. If there is no life-threatening condition, it is not medically necessary.

I'd be totally all for that. If her fan club and supporters want to raise funds for the gender reassignment, then right on, but the government shouldn't pay for it. If I was a transgendered individual, I think I'd likely feel the same way. If a person identifies as the opposite sex in the "free world," they are expected to come up with the funds for the hormone therapy and surgeries themselves. The government doesn't do that. And they shouldn't. It sucks she's in jail, it really does, but that's not the issue at hand.

 

All I can say is I hope prison isn't too tough on him and he can have some kind of life...I don't know,books,radio or something...A gym?...I really have no idea what military prison is like.He seems like such a sweet guy.

Ok, it doesn't seem to be quite like that anymore...

Inmates can participate in as many as 13 treatment programs that focus on self-growth.

Inmates also have access to traditional education programs and vocational-work details.
Apprenticeship programs include carpentry, dental assistance, graphic design, screen printing and welding.

Work details are offered in embroidery, textile repair, graphic arts and woodwork. The state of Kansas also offers licensing in barbering, and some details allow inmates to pocket 14 to 80 cents an hour.

I agree.

You say it isn't not medically necessary, but perhaps for Mannings (I'm not going to say he or she) long term mental health it is.

 

so what are you going to be for Halloween this year orison?

chelsea manning..


wasnt that your costume last year? ?...

No , , it was Cher..


oh.. Didnt Manning Cher information??..

 

Unfortunately last I checked, the United States government doesn't give two shits about people's mental health. Even if they state they do.

 

I don't know!

I found this interesting:

People with "personality, psychosexual conditions, transsexual, gender identity, exhibitionism, transvestism, voyeurism, other paraphilias or factitious disorders" are prohibited from joining the US army, according to the army's Standards of Medical Fitness, which also say: "These conditions render an individual administratively unfit rather than unfit because of physical illness or medical disability."

The Veterans Health Administration, however, in February 2013 issued a directive granting care to veterans enrolled in the VA healthcare system

Perhaps this is the reason some people think he isn't a she...or should not be acknowledged as she.
Perhaps even there isn't such a thing as a man wanting to be a woman.

 

i hope they parole him/her in seven months instead of seven years. i hope when he/she gets out, he'll be like mandella. if he then ran for public office i'd vote for hem.

 

Thus further dividing our already broken nation.

 

surely access to a lawyer would mean that it is possible.

 

ehh, I don't know. I mean his legal status isn't exactly standard.

 

This Bradley Manning stuff is a dog and pony show. It's like some tabloid shit among the left. He is like some poster boy hero of theirs or some shit.

 

unfortunately the bitch isn't being put to sleep.

this country is weak
