Manning gets name change
BBC reports that a judge has granted that Manning fellow his latest preferred moniker;
A judge has granted a petition from Chelsea Manning to legally change her name from Bradley, as the US soldier continues her 35-year sentence for leaking government files.
Pte First Class Manning, 26, was convicted of giving more than 700,000 US documents to the Wikileaks website.
She said in August she wanted to begin hormone therapy and live as a woman.
The former intelligence analyst has been diagnosed with gender identity disorder by doctors.
Judge David King granted the petition on Wednesday in Leavenworth, Kansas, near where Manning is imprisoned.
“It’s a far better, richer, and more honest reflection of who I am and always have been – a woman named Chelsea,” Manning wrote in a statement following the ruling.
Yeah, well, a rose by any other name is still a traitor. Unless the judge also whacked off Manning’s sexual appendage, he’s still a guy. If I started crawling around my house on all fours and eating out of a bowl, could I be a dog? I’m really glad that we’re doing all of this important shit with our legal system.
But, thanks for giving me another opportunity to use the photo a reader sent us from Manning’s first day of basic training.

Media outlets always have a stylebook that they use as a guide ie AP Style, Chicago Style, NY Times Style, etc… I don’t understand where the media went so far beyond normal journalistic style to refer to a man with an apparent identity disorder and desire to merely be a woman is now referred to as a “she.”
I can care less about this court decision regarding his name so long as my tax money doesn’t go to a sex-change operation. My issue is with the media. He’s a man. He now has a girl’s name, but is physically a man. When/if he gets a sex change, I will refer to him as a her. Until then, he’s a dude. If Jonn were serious about changing his name to Rex and claiming he’s a canine, sorry, but he’s still a human named Rex. Ugh.
As long as “it” has the “Y” chromosome, it a male, no matter what is removed. I’m sure GLADD or some other weirdo group would pay for the transformation.
I’m sure his cellmates will feel much more comfortable calling him Chelsea as they entertain themselves in his fourth point of contact each night.
Who cares? He’d enjoy it. So the whole “Haha he’s in jail, I hope he likes man on man action” doesn’t really work.
The only important legal procedure done with this fucking turd is the one that put it away for 35 years.
Why the courts waste time with this trivial bullshit is beyond me.
Why this traitorous POS gets even minimal treatment in the press says some not so flattering things about the state of our 4th estate. You know, the fuckers that are supposed to keep the citizens informed of the important news of the day. But instead they seem enamored of this traitor and its gender preferences. Meanwhile, the current administration takes a big steaming dump on the Constitution every fucking day and we hear crickets. Awesome…..
The 4th estate has morphed into a 5th column.
You nailed it MGySgt
“The former intelligence analyst has been diagnosed with gender identity disorder by doctors.”
A DISORDER. Why are we taxpayers going to pay for hormone therapy for a disorder instead of some needed therapy and beat downs. Now the beat downs won’t cost a dime. Probably a daily freebie in Leavenworth.
Said it before, I’ll say it again. It can change its plumbing all it wants. You still can’t get by the whole X-Y chromosome business. If it should need a heart, lung, liver or kidney transplant, it will still be a male donor. In which case I say, you want to be a woman, well no donors available because surely you have too much pride and dignity as a “woman” to take anything from an man. Right Chelsea?
Exactly. Still a dude no matter how you cut it. In fact I refuse to use the feminine pronoun when referring to people like this. How they were when they were breached is how I’ll speak to them.
I spent 21 years working for the Federal Bureau of Prisons and to this day I can’t believe how judges bend over backwards to grant the requests of inmates.
“It’s a far better, richer, and more honest reflection of who I am and always have been – a woman named Chelsea,” Manning wrote in a statement following the ruling.
I cannot tell you how happy I am that this thing will live a more honest, richer existence now that it has a chicks name. I am sure everyone on the cell block is relieved that Bradley is a happier inmate. I am sure all the hissy fits and tantrums that it was throwing until it got a new name were really fucking with the day to day running of Leavenworth.
Who the fuck allowed that convict to make a statement?
Until he/it starts peeing sitting down, has menstrual discharge and cramps every month with mood swings included, and gets its XY chromosomes changed, he/it is still a male human.
Ex-PH2 Thank you and thank you again!
My first urinalysis observance was on a six foot four inch, 240lbs, 42DD transexual. It told me it had to squat to pee. I said I didn’t care as long as the bottle and the area was observable. Still not enough mind and eye bleach to clear that vision from my mind.
Trent, take pity on people and post a ‘spew alert’ next time.
This could go two ways for Manning; if he gets housed with male inmates his femininity is going to get him hosed regularly. On the other hand, it might not be such a bad deal for Manning if he’s housed with female inmates. Think about it: the only inmate on the cell-block with a functioning penis.
Hmmmm…
They’ll keep him in the male side. I’m sure he’ll find a new boyfriend, if he doesn’t have one already.
ahhhhhhh the old “I’m a lesbian trapped in a man’s body” scam. Well played Bradley/Chelsea. Or is it Bradsea? Chelley? I’m about as confused as she/he/it now.
It should not come as a great surprise that all of the transgendered males I have known, hooked up with women once the change was complete. I think they did it for the frilly underwear but couldn’t bring themselves to cross dress. The psychosis involved here is mind bending.
Wittle Bradwey is no doubt familiar with the term “Airtight” now. All orifices plugged.
Ah hell, it doesn’t matter what it’s name is – he/she/it is still a little bitch….in more ways than one.
all part of the media/entertainment agenda to normalize homo-/poly-/whatever-sexuality. 2% of the population and to look at a TV or read a paper you would swear it’s 98%. To be honest, all I care about is that a) he/they/whatever keep their freakin’ hands to themselves and b) stay the hell out of my way like everyone else. Guess that makes me another breed of racist/bigot/jerk again…
my apologies for any duplicate posts, Chrome seems intent on making internet life a pain today
There’s a troll trying to get into this discussion who is complaining that if we support the troops, we’d support Manning. We do, just like he supported us.
By the way, little troll, you should read the “About Us” page where it says we delete commenters who use Tor. I don’t give a tiny rat’s ass what your opinion is, but I don’t support professional trolls.
Fuck it,I hope it gets ass raped everyday for the next 35 yrs then dies a long slow death, of aids would be just fine,fuck you cunt.
Oh, I don’t, Jarhead. I hope that somehow, little Bwaddy here gets his/her/its wish and gets cut, then finds that the hormone therapy is a pain in the ass, especially if you forget to take your pills.
And then getting those odd looks in the women’s room will hurt — he’s not very attractive as a girl, you know — and I hope he finds that being a cross-gendered person ain’t so hot, after all.
And then he wants to get his wiffypieter back, but you know – once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
Oooh! Do you think they’ll get rid of his prostate, too? And what about breast cancer down the road? That study that followed thousands of women on hormone replacement therapy (for menopause, cancer, etc.) was daunting enough for me to tell MY doctor I wouldn’t take that stuff any more. It was SCARY!
I hope he finds being a girl to be a living hell.
I agree with you Ex-PH2 except on one point. I think he/she/it is at least as attractive as her more famous namesake. And I admit that ain’t much.
Lessee – got busted, went to trial, got convicted, doing time.
Why are we still paying attention to..it…again?
Let me follow this out a tad. While Manning is in boys’ camp, he’s happy cause he gets all the action he can handle. So, getting thumped and rinsing with Spermatoza toothpaste daily is a reward to him. But, if he has a sex change and junk lopped off, then he would be transferred to the womens’ section where he would be treated as a lesbian. Okay, now I’m confusing myself.
I still don’t understand why that sad excuse for a human being wasn’t tried and convicted of Treason, then hung.
Can someone explain something to me?
If they diagnose it as a “disorder”, why on Earth are we going along with it? Heck, why is anyone encouraging it by allowing him to have a “sex-change” (by the way, that’s not physically possible)? Would you allow someone who is a paranoid schizophrenic to continue in his delusions? Of course not, yet for whatever reason we must “protect the rights” of these people modern medical science has classified as FUBAR.
It’s stupid, and I really have no sympathy for it. The fact that they’re not being treated for a mental disorder and are instead told to just carry on their confused, deluded way is a worse kind of torture for the person than putting them through treatment so they can figure out what they are. By telling them to “live their life”, we are dooming them to misery because the disorder just gets worse.
People say, “wouldn’t you be miserable if you were born a girl in a man’s body?” as if that’s a real argument. First, you’re not a “girl”; you’re a guy with a mental disorder in which you think you’re a girl. Second, it’s not what your mind is so much as what you physically are. Your chromosomes are set in stone, you can’t hide from them. No matter how you feel, you just have to suck it up and carry on best you can, getting help so you can overcome the disorder.
Finally, let me state that Private Bradley Manning is a traitor, and no matter who or what he thinks he is, he is guilty of treason and responsible for the consequences that came with his leak. He should have been hung or executed in some way to show that traitors die a traitor’s death. That’s it. This prison sentence is a farce, he’ll be pardoned when Obama leaves, I’ll bet.
Hear, Hear!
Manning gets name change…
From “Mud” to “Mudette.” Got it.
Unfortunately, the sheer notoriety of his crime could make him a chick magnet, at least in certain circles, if he’s smart enough to hang on to his boy bits after he gets out. (1/3 of his sentence will disappear for “good time” per AR 633-30, so he’ll be young enough to take advantage.) One reason I’m glad the sentence is so long — so he can miss all that “quality time,” and have a chance to be forgotten.
OldSoldier — The reason is that treason is the only crime specifically defined in the U.S. Constitution, and the definition is narrow on purpose. Manning’s acts don’t meet the definition…especially not if you read the definition tightly, the way you’re supposed to in criminal law.
It’s a good constitutional provision…tyrants in the past (from Tiberius to Henry VIII) used “treason” the way Stalin used “counterrevolutionary agitation,” “anti-Soviet subversion,” etc. as a kind of catch-all crime to shut up anyone they wanted.
I really don’t care what name this little pole-smoking twerp wants to be called.
Eddie Slovik did less, and got more punishment than this piece of excrement deserves.
And so, there I was working side by side with an ol timey cowboy (real deal), listening to his wild waky widisisum’s, when he said “Boy, there a number of things you’ll never understand in this world”.
I do believe that old cowboy was right, fella’s and ladies. This here Manning critter just happens to be one of those subjects that appears to defy the simplest of explanations or the mildest of understanding.
They should have followed the KISS rule, something like this:
1. Rope.
2. Tree (or gallows).
3. Traitor.
Some assembly required.
