United States - Manning: I’m female
Print Edition
Bradley Manning, the US soldier sentenced to 35 years for leaking secret documents, said Thursday he now considers himself to be a woman called Chelsea.
“As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me,” the 25-year-old said in a statement read out on NBC’s Today show in the presence of his lawyer, David Coombs. “I am Chelsea Manning, I am a female.”
“Given the way I feel and have felt since childhood, I want to begin hormone therapy as soon as possible,” the statement said. “I also request that starting today you refer to me by my new name and use the feminine pronoun.”
