Read the news this morning, claiming that the traitor Bradley Manning wants to live as a woman and be called by a girl’s name.
Dear Bradley Manning,
I do not give two squirts of runny shit what you think or what you want.
Fuck you.
The end.
Is this about the documents or her gender orientation? Or both?
It’s Chelsea lately.
Someone’s a cranky bitch this morning.
I don’t agree with what Manning did while in the Army. I think Manning should be incarcerated for much longer than she was sentenced. But at least she didn’t run off like a little bitch and hide in a foreign country. She stood by what she did and she took her punishment like a man. If she wants to be considered a woman, then so be it.
Cut the dude some slack. She IS taking it like a man and now she’s just trying to adapt to the role she’s gotten in prison.
I lol’d.
I don’t care what he wants to be called. My tax dollars should not be spent for any operation that is not life-saving. He can get his hormone therapy and operations once he gets out of prison and pay for it on his own dime.
Had he just torturned some people, or shot civilians, he would have been fine.
If he wanted to live as a woman, he should have made that decision before he stole classified information and gave it to Wikileaks. The Army is under no obligation to play along with his fantasies at this time, and they certainly don’t need to be paying for him to have surgery - he can deal with that when he’s 60 and they let him out.
Dude just got 35 years in jail, he’s going to be someone’s ‘woman’ soon enough anyway.
If you don’t care what he thinks or wants, why are you pitting him? Just let it go.
This is a great opportunity for Conservatives to show how worthless they are as a whole, by using Manning’s crimes as an excuse to make bigoted, hateful, transphobic remarks.
I mean, they’re not even pretending, really - they’re just looking for any opportunity they can to smear their vile hate all over the place.
So I just wanted to clarify this point. You angry self-righteous taxpayers in this thread, you’re just peachy with Manning getting an unprecedented sentence decades above that of actual torturers and murderers, which is clearly for show and to make an example of him, that will probably cost a million or more to have imprisoned him by the time he’s out?
How did you feel about the previous three years of suicide watch while he has been under detention, during a large portion of which his cell was guarded virtually around the clock? Were you outraged at that waste?
Not even getting into the revelations of what he actually leaked, which is a separate argument. I’m disappointed with this mentality so many people have, where if our government is abusing or humiliating somebody, spare no expense, but God forbid somebody get a little medical attention.
Judging by this thread, I expect more than a few liberals to get in on the act, too.
I’d hardly consider elective plastic surgery to be “medical attention”. When was the last time anyone died for want of a boob job?
Now, to answer your question with a question; how would you feel if Bradley Manning had hanged himself in his cell because he wasn’t on suicide watch and being watched around the clock?
Pretty much. It’s absolutely disgusting, and it’s on anywhere there’s a news article. It’s the type of fucking scum that honestly argue that not being able to beat gay people to death “violates their freedom of religion”. It’s fucking sickening and I hate these idiots who think they are justified in spewing out garbage.
You mean here or on other sites? Cuz what I see here is a fairly deliberate absence of empathy for this guy who would be a piece of shit irrespective of his personal issues. I think libs & cons would be in general agreement he deserves only the most basic of human rights, but very little actual respect, from his own countrymen.
If you are not willing to respect the gender identity of one trans person, you don’t actually respect the gender identity of any of them. You are instead letting it pass on a “As long as I like you”, which is a really sick way of having your bigotry and ignorance while pretending you’re “not one of those mean people”.
You don’t get to scream and rant about one gay person being a total f-slur and then go “Oh, but I don’t have anything against gay men, I just hate this one guy.”
You don’t get to use gendered insults and vile, misogynistic language against a woman, no matter who it is, and go “Oh, but I don’t have anything against women, I just hate Ann Coulter”.
Wow, it’s like somebody turned on the Piece of Shit signal.
I don’t respect the gender identity of anyone who commits treason, gets off easy, and then tries to garner sympathy by claiming he was “born in the wrong body” and he’s a “victim”. Bradley Manning would claim he’s the reincarnation of Carol Channing if he thought it would make people feel sorry for him.
The law and his DNA say he’s male, and he gave up the right to do anything about that when he decided to commit treason.
