Only in America: Whats the deal with Chealse(?) Manning

[reno cool]

So she/he is in prison for revealing ..I don't remember ..a bunch of horrible shit about US atrocities in Iraq etc
but now has a right to sex change operation in prison due to "gender dysphoria"

[FairWarning]

Chelsea Clinton is a bigger concern.

It always seemed wrong to me that American prisoners can't have guns. Give prisoners guns dammit. This is America.

And if a prisoner has gender reassignment ---> 2 guns. Just because.

I mean youd think there'd be a lot more dysphoria about being in prison than about gender.
There's like a human right to gender choice now that supersedes the right to not being locked in a cage.

And how does one think about gender in the sense that I'm not the right one anyway. Seems to me a highly sociological concept

what a horrible situation to be in. They really fucked this guy up.
Wanting paid education is not enough reason to join the military, let this be a lesson to the kids.
