It also sets up other trans folks to be denied high level security clearance based on a diagnosis of GID. It’s rather disgusting in my opinion.

He is on trial for treason and spying, not for gender identity issues. Whether your a man or a women, he was a soldier that “betrayed” his country. To have anything else taken into effect would be a failure of the American Justice System.

Manning’s defense is indefensible. Blaming treason on gender identity is total b*** s***!!!

I am a Transgender and a proud Veteran. The creature is a traitor. If he leaked the documents for some noble cause then stand on that. Don’t look for pity or excuse’s. Looking for excuse’s is proof that he did not believe what he did was right. And if he does not believe it was right then why should we?

Let’s blame gender identity disorder now that he’s been caught red-handed giving national security secrets to Wikileaks. Bradley to himself: “I couldn’t figure out whether I liked men or women or both and that’s why I spilled the beans about our national security.” Make me barf.

When a small sensitive smart gay identified soldier gets caught up in the world of super masculinity the femme inside will feel brutalized and tortured. What a courageous person Bradley Manning is . V’s gender expression/identity should not be used as a negative in the court proceedings. I think of ‘Bradley/ Breena as a hero, period . V’s courage started when he came out as a teenager. V’ is attracted to men sexually .that is v’s self expressed sexual orientation. Gender identity and sexual orientation are not the same thing, V had a relationship with a trans-identified gay man who was a student at MIT. So what,. V likes wearing a dress sometimes, so do many other bio-birth males.. the more I learn about Bradley Manning the more impressed I am by his individual acts of courage … What is important in this trial me is not his sexuality, not v’s gender expression or identity but v’s courage to stand up for honesty, truth and integrity, Being the definition of a good soldier.. I hope the LGBT media well not fall into the trap of a well meaning heterosexual defense strategy and remains clear in their support of Bradley Manning as a hero for the entire LGBT community. V certainly is to me. That is why I attended with OWS the opening session of his pre-trial court hearing and spoke at the rally at Ft mead on
