Your tax money is paying for Bradley Manning to get his dick chopped off

I didn't say anything about gender, you silly person. Your gender identity is your subjective experience of a particular aspect of your self, and it is constructed by the brain.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Gender is a construct of an X or Y chromosome, you silly person. Bradley Manning is clearly deeply mentally disturbed, as evidenced by his behavior in the military both before and after his little act of treason, and now this rigamarole.

Clearly in Manning's case having a Y chromosome did not cause Manning to identify as a male so your claim that "gender is a construct of an X or Y chromosome" is demonstrably false.

Also, gender dysphoria has nothing to do with "treason". There's a stigma associated with "mental illness", so that when people have abnormal psychology, people assume the person in question must be irrational and crazy. I find this to be a very bigoted and ignorant attitude.

The transgender hate is like the cherry on top for them. Though, without that angle, I doubt kucibros would've offered such strong commentary (in the form of a thread, that is).

If he were just a tranny I wouldn't be trashing him. I'd think him odd, and certainly in need of help, but not worthy of ridicule.

[Berzerker]

Doesn't count if they're disconnected from his body.

he can keep them in a leather pouch like the bald dude in Game of Thrones

I go to this guy a lot when it comes to health issues, but here's a good summary of the current scientific outlook on sex, gender, and gender identity.

He's worthy of ridicule for being a petulant twerp who leaked as much classified information as he could get his hands on to say "**** you dad" to his chain of command after they punished him for flipping a table at an officer.

Jesus did that and started a religion

Actually no, Jesus did not start a new religion. Those after his death, did.

[Ben Kenobi]

Which is why Jesus himself said, "upon this Rock, Peter, I will build my Church."

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Jesus pissed of the Romans, not the USA which happens to be the bestest country in the multiverse.

It's a recognised medical condition.

Your reaction to it is a recognized psychiatric condition. Denial. Embarce yourself, DD. You'll be happier for it.

The treatment of which does not require expensive sex changes or hormone therapy. He should be allowed to self identify all he wants. As long as he does it legally his new name should be officially recognized in the records. Everything else he can take care of on his own time when he has that again.

Pray tell, what is the treatment for gender identity dysphoria?

[Patroklos]

The freedom to live as you wish without judgement? And probably a lot of head shrinker drugs. He has that. Well, at least his prison is doing that we can't force the other inmates to play along.

I have never once read anywhere chopping off dicks is required for the transgendered to live a normal life. It might be what they want, it might make them feel better, but there are lots of things prison inmates want or will make them feel better that their crimes prevent.
