I'm sorry....'her'.......'gender identity condition?'Convicted national security leaker Chelsea Manning asked a federal court Tuesday to order the Defense Department to provide hormone therapy and other treatment for her gender identity condition while she serves her 35-year sentence in military confinement.
Gender dysphoria? And 'Chelsea' is what.....an at risk for 'self-castration?'The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, says the Army private formerly known as Bradley Manning is at a high risk of self-castration and suicide unless she receives more focused treatment for gender dysphoria
Imagine our Armed Forces not providing a qualified gender dysphoria specialist. Heinous.The Army is providing some treatment but not enough, according to the lawsuit. She is getting psychotherapy from a mental health specialist who lacks the qualifications to treat gender dysphoria, according to the document.
And thus not providing this proper treatment amounts to "a clear disregard of well established protocols that constitutes cruel and unusual punishment?"Such clear disregard of well-established medical protocols constitutes cruel and unusual punishment," ACLU attorney Chase Strangio said in a statement.
I don't think Chelsea is in the neocon camp, one hopes you INNs keep 'her' with you. Finger painting and what not.
Why not the US save some money, allow people to record cause this should be good, hand Chelsea a sharp knife and a bucket.
