“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),” Manning continued in the statement. “I look forward to receiving letters from supporters and having the opportunity to write back.”
Good luck with that, kid. In my jungle you’d be just another weirdo, but in the one you’re headed for…well, this might not have been the right time for the makeup and wig, is all I’m saying.
ETA: Remember when this was funny because it was absurd?
Now it’s funny because it’s ironic.
I had to lol… but I don’t hold his eccentricities against him. We’ve known from early on that Ms. Manning had some “issues”, but I still appreciate that he threw his life away for an opportunity to stick a thumb in the collective eye of the douche-bags that think they own us.
Channeling Michael Jackson…
Come on, you’re a tiny, admittedly wussy guy who’s about to go away to prison for a long time. If you might be able to go to women’s prison or some sort of special confinement instead wouldn’t you try??
It’s a smart move on Manning’s part. Can’t hurt at this point.
post choperatively, I bet it will
Considering the level of psychological torture they put this guy through it’s not really shocking that he went off the deep end
Sumtymes – its hard – tuh beee – a woman . . . :^)
Weelll, just like he’s soooorry he released all those secret documents, he’s gonna be soooorry he released this little secret. ‘Cause I don’t think the gov’t is gonna pay for his surgery–heck, they hardly pay for the anti-psychotics for schizos in prison–& so in a male prison, I’m guessing this is gonna have painful consequences.
He thought the torture before was bad….
