I’m sure you know the story of Bradley Manning, who was sentenced to 35 years confinement (with the possibility of parole in eight years) in August of this year after releasing the largest set of classified documents ever leaked to the public. Manning was diagnosed with gender identity disorder while in the Army and is a trans woman now and says that she had “felt female since childhood.” Many consider Manning a hero and lend their support through the Pvt. Manning Support Network. If you’d like to send Chelsea a card this holiday season, you can write to:
Bradley E Manning / 89289 / 1300 N Warehouse Rd / Fort Leavenworth, KS 66027-2304 / USA
Note: The prison system does not respect the name Chelsea – you can take care of that inside your greeting. (Image, Cultural Instigator, via Jim Fouratt, Facebook)
