HAHAHHAHAHA! Love it, love it, love it!! I bet Bradley Manning will be more interesting than their real daughter. And, you know what? He does look a lot like Chelsea Clinton in the pic provided.
Chris Irvine and Raf Sanchez writing at TheTelegraph:
.... A statement from Manning, read on NBC News's 'Today' programme, said that as he makes the "transition" into the next phase of his life, he wants "everyone to know the real me."
"I also request that, starting today, you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun (except in official mail to the confinement facility). I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back."
Manning, 25, was sentenced on Wednesday to 35 years in a military prison for turning over classified files to WikiLeaks.
During Manning's trial, his defence team argued that the army missed multiple warning signs he was struggling with gender identity issues. The court heard how he sent his superiors an anguished email where he explained he thought should be a woman and attached a photograph of himself as his female alter-ego "Breanna", wearing make-up and a blonde wig..........
When the story first broke way back and I saw him being escorted by guards, I thought to myself, 'Well isn't he a dainty little fellow, he will have fun in prison." Finding out later that he identifies with the opposite sex actually did not surprise me though it never occurred to me as a possibility at the time.
ReplyDeletePoor man. It's a "good" thing he's a political prisoner so he will not be with the non-political crowd where you know what might have happened.
