Re: Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman
The VA will, although probably as a result of the conviction he'll have lost all of his benefits. I feel really sorry for Manning. I don't condone the leaking, even if all the "aiding and abetting the enemy" hysteria was bullshit, but it just seems like Manning was in emotional/psychological crisis on that deployment, spun apart, and made a decision that will fuck up the rest of his life, to include make transitioning in his/her twenties impossible. Not that I particularly recommend transitioning in your twenties, unless you are VERY confident you can stealth, or already have established yourself in a career, otherwise you get to experience the joy of being completely unhireable, but whatever.
Random fact about me: the only reason I'm not today a West Point graduate and an Army infantry officer, of all things, was that I was honest on the medical history form after getting an offer of appointment, and disclosed that I had been treated for depression. Ugh, I'd still be stuck in the Army for another two years, wondering why a hyper-masculine environment hadn't "cured" me of my gender dysphoria, so I guess it's for the best.

Re: Bradley Manning: I want to live as a woman
With what I heard on NPR, he's getting at least 25 yrs, after 10 he gets a chance of parole, if shown good conduct, but being as though he will be in Leavenworth, he is going to have a lot of problems.
If he wanted a better way to get out of the military and transition, he could have asked me. I got out HONORABLY and VOLUNTARILY so I can start mine.

He may have that opportunity, but being as though the "charges" he's convicted of, going to Leavenworth is going to hell for him. After the trial and sentencing, once he's put back into Leavenworth, the Marine guards are going to tear him a new one, and most likely the other inmates as well.
On a light note...If he does want to transition after, then he'll be ready for a lot of "hardcore" scenes LMAO.
