Bradley Manning sues to get Transgender Medical Treatment

(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."

Why does it think it's entitled to a sex change operation?

Idk why you are posting this like it's anything. James Madison early contemplated this while drafting.

I'm still calling it Bradley. I'm cool with the gays, bisexuals and lesbians in the LGB but the Transgender in the T is something I'm definitely not cool with.

I'm sure Manning is the most popular "girl" on campus.

So now the military has to humor the personality disordered with genital mutilation rather than therapy. Hooray.

If the gay community ever wants to be taken seriously, they better drop these freaks quickly.

I'm sure Tubby or Bengal will be here to tell us how hateful we are towards "transgenders".

Actually, Ballcaster is the resident transgender apologist here.

This should disqualify him from the surgery as he clearly has mental illness and his capacity to consent has to be questioned.

Hrm...did he "cast his balls aside" and buy some boobs and a wig?
Thank you. Be sure to tip your waiter, waitress, or whatever it is serving you.

I think his cousin did. He gets really emotional about it, I really hop he enters this thread.

No, not for elective surgery. Plus, supposedly those who undergo those sorts of surgeries have to complete a several year long psychiatric and hormonal process to assess stability before any surgery.
