    For those of you who don't know, Bradley Manning leaked classified information to the enemy and was trailed in a military court, then sentenced to a military prison. The Pentagon OK'd his (soon to be her) request for a sex change operation. Bradley's new name is now Chelsea Manning.

    She is already a women, even if she has not had the operation. It always makes me mad to see the media still call her by her birth name, instead of her chosen name (also the incorrect pronouns make me mad). I hope that she is granted access to the care that she needs for her transition.

    First, her name is Chelsea, not Bradley.

    Second, she is a woman now.

    I hope that the heroine Chelsea Manning is freed and that she is granted access to the care she needs for her transition.

    What the hell? Why call her bradley?

    And seconded, she deserves freedom in addition to the gender reassignment.
