WTF? They better not seriously consider this bullshite. READ TO THE END for the best part.

(CNN) - Chelsea Manning, convicted of espionage and imprisoned at Fort Leavenworth, has filed a lawsuit in federal court, claiming she "has been denied access to medically necessary treatment" for her gender disorder.

The inmate once known as Bradley Manning announced in August 2013, the day after her court sentencing, that she is female. Manning is suing to follow grooming standards such as growing her hair longer and using cosmetics, and to receive hormone treatment "in order to express her female gender," said the suit filed Tuesday in district court in Washington.

"She brings this action to compel defendants [Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and the federal government] to treat her serious medical needs consistent with their obligation under the Constitution," said the suit. If the requests are denied, said Manning's lawyers, she "will suffer continued pain, depression and anxiety and is at an extremely high risk of self-castration and suicidality."

Was Manning prescribed hormones before she was incarcerated?

She's a female in spirit, and that is all that matters.

I have a friend who recently transitioned, or has begun to transition, I'm not sure. Either way, these people are fragile and need our care.

I'm not advocating for the prison to provide Manning with hormones unless she was previously prescribed them.

"These people are fragile and need our care."

Not to go all Poli Board but this is possibly the most liberal statement I have ever heard.

"This person" needs to take care of themselves. They might get YOUR care if you choose to give it to them. This person doesn't deserve a damn thing from me. Just like they aren't obligated to give me anything.

Wait so you can just announce that you're changing your gender and it's true now? What else can you announce?
