As has been stated before, in prison, if you are fucking some guy in teh butt, its not teh ghey because you're just asserting power over beta male inmates.
wait, so is he a lesbian? IF he turns into a woman, does he go in the women's prison? I mean can he go without cock for that long or does he crave teh vagina. If he's a gay male, wouldn't it make sense to stay in a male prison so he could have regular gay sex? If he's a woman, why would he want to go to a women's prison? There would be no penis there, other than his own until it falls off from hormone therapy right? maybe he's a lesbian in a man's body but just wants to be a woman to be with other women, in prison??
This is not really news; Manning's gender identity has been a back story all along. It is in fact very common for pre-transition transwomen to bury themselves in hyper-masculine environments - military, overwhelmingly male professions, and so on in an attempt to "make it go away". Whether she "betrayed her country" is a matter of opinion; some would say deliberate killing of civilians and covering it up betray American values. I guess it would be too much to ask to have a reasoned debate on the topic without sexual insult. The military does not cover gender reassignment treatment. Transpeople are not "mutilating" their bodies, they are making their bodies match who they actually are. It seems several here are hoping Manning gets raped in prison. How very Christ-like of you. Funny, how I get called hateful and bitter and jihadist for having a rainbow flag, but wishing rape on someone is ...

It's like every tin-foil hat conspiracy is true; how can one not think 9/11 was accomplished with the consent of the people in charge here after reading the syllabus of the cables? I'll be honest (and this is to my shame); I didn't know what was in the cables until today.
I lean that way typically too, but for a moment there I thought a bit more on the "just keep that memo in my outbox for a while; nobody needs to see it yet" side of intentional laziness letting a predicted act occur. Not that the authoritarians were involved directly, but more than just a happy accident.
You should definitely listen to Dan Carlin's Hardcore History podcast. He just did one on the Spanish American War recently. All I will say is that the role that Roosevelt and William Randolph Hearst played in the lead up to that conflict is pretty amazing.
