Chelsea Manning Told She Will Receive Gender Transition Surgery

Chelsea Manning (@xychelsea) tweeted at 8:31 PM - 13 Sep 2016 : Unending relief: .mil does right thing; just let me be me https://t.co/wO8Nf1xwMx ====== Chelsea Manning Told She Will Receive Gender Transition Surgery, Her Lawyer Says The military’s decision — which the military will not confirm — follows a recommendation made by Manning’s psychologist more than five months ago. Originally posted on September 13, 2016, 22:24 GMT Updated on September 13, 2016, 23:56 GMT Chris Geidner BuzzFeed News Reporter WASHINGTON — Army officials today informed Chelsea Manning that they will provide her with gender transition surgery, her lawyer tells BuzzFeed News. A lawyer for Manning, the ACLU's Chase Strangio, spoke with Manning on Tuesday after she was informed of the military's decision. Manning, serving a 35-year prison sentence for violating the Espionage Act, received a recommendation from her psychologist in April that she receive surgery related to her gender dysphoria. “I am unendingly relieved that the military is finally doing the right thing. I applaud them for that. This is all that I wanted – for them to let me be me,” Manning said in a statement provided by her lawyers. "But it is hard not to wonder why it has taken so long. Also, why were such drastic measures needed? The surgery was recommended back in April 2016. The recommendations for my hair length were back in 2014," Manning continued in the statement. "In any case, I hope this sets a precedent for the thousands of trans people behind me hoping they will be given the treatment they need." Strangio said that Manning was told on Tuesday that the military made a determination that the Department of Defense's instruction for "In-Service Transition" applies to her. Additionally, according to Strangio, Manning was shown a treatment plan that included information about surgery and the medical team necessary to move forward with that surgery. Strangio added, however, that Manning was told that she must continue to keep her hair short, as required under male grooming standards, until she receives the surgery. Asked to confirm the information provided by Manning's lawyer, Army spokesperson Wayne Hall told BuzzFeed News only, "We cannot and will not discuss the medical needs of individuals." The decision ends a hunger strike that Manning began on Sept. 9, but it does not, at this point, end a hearing scheduled for Manning on Sept. 20 relating to charges resulting from Manning's suicide attempt earlier this summer. "Thankfully the government has recognized its constitutional obligation to provide Chelsea with the medical care that she needs and we hope that they will act without delay to ensure that her suffering does not needlessly continue," Strangio said in a statement. Strangio added, however, that Tuesday's news doesn't alleviate all of the concerns of Manning's lawyers. First, he said, they will continue to monitor the situation to see how quickly the military moves forward with the recommended surgery. Second, Strangio noted, "Certainly, we're going to move forward with our litigation on the hair issue, as that remains a matter of concern." Finally, Strangio said it is the hope of Manning's lawyers that "all charges related to her suicide attempt and the investigation that followed are dropped." No prison inmate — at the state or federal level — has received gender transition surgery. The issue of gender has been highly charged, leading to extensive litigation even in more traditionally liberal states like Massachusetts and California. Although a settlement reached in a California case brought by the Transgender Law Center provided for surgery for Shiloh Quine, Quine's lawyers told BuzzFeed News on Tuesday that the surgery is set for this fall but has not yet happened. Activists opposed to Manning's imprisonment updated an ongoing petition after the announcement of Tuesday's news, stating, "Chelsea Manning ends hunger strike after Army agrees to provide her with needed health care. But they're still threatening to punish her for attempting to take her own life." UPDATE This report has been updated with information about health care for transgender people in prison and activists’ efforts on Chelsea Manning’s behalf. 2016-09-13 19:56:27 ======== I am singing "She is a Lady" and I bet that Steve Kinney is very happy and singing to celebrate too, hihi! ;) I love Chelsea. I love you, Steve. And I love the cypherpunks list! <3

But the job they do may leave her wishing she'd waited until release leading to more emotional problems than she's already experiencing leading to... Let me put it this way. She'll have to go to a civilian doctor on release to get their hack job fixed. Don't know how much 'reorientation' they'll do but it will be, for want of better description, basic, and primitive... Unless ofc the Pentagon wants to show transgenders how far they're willing to support them, to recruit them. But I doubt the latter. No real idea until more information is released about what's intended. Rr

Free speech - front lines in Australia - [personal@bernardgaynor.com.au: Update: battle for free speech]
by Zenaan Harkness 13 Sep '16

13 Sep '16

Bernard Gaynor is a controversial Australian with conservative pro-family views whom some would say is ultra-conservative, to which I would counter "that's just your post-modern moral relativism which dominates the current Western public and social dialogue". So, notwithstanding anyone's particular views on any particular issue which Bernard Gaynor stands for and champions (at least one of which I strongly disagree with), his stand for freedom of speech is superb, courageous, persistent, and thyankfully a following has formed which donates to keep him and his family afloat in the face of the legal fees and the many personal sacrifices he has chosen to make, and some which he has and continues to suffer at the hands of his opponents, including the chief of the Australian Army who stepped down to an early retirement in "moral disgrace" and knowing that he would not survive his very political attack against Bernard Gaynor's personal stands as an Australian Army reserve man (he sacked Bernard amongst other things). So plenty to debate, but the guts of this is free speech and the long standing statutory infractions against our right to freedom of speech, and in particular as we name it for necessary but quirky reasons in Australia for legal and constitutional purposes: freedom to communicate on political and related matters Good luck Bernard, ----- Forwarded message from Bernard Gaynor ----- Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2016 01:07:53 +0000 From: Bernard Gaynor <personal(a)bernardgaynor.com.au> To: Zenaan Harkiss <zen(a)freedbms.net> Reply-To: Bernard Gaynor <personal(a)bernardgaynor.com.au> Subject: Update: battle for free speech View this email in your browser (http://us11.campaign-archive1.com/?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa1558f96210&id=7eba298bf…) http://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa1558… Dear Zenaan, Contents * Free Speech Update (#legalupdate) * Fundraising Dinner (#qoty) * Please help - donate $1 per week today (#pleasehelp) Since I last wrote to you on 22 August, there has been plenty of action in the battle to speak the truth and speak it freely. First of all, I must thank all those who donated to assist in this battle. I incurred over $23,000 in fees last month. There is simply no way that I could afford to wage this fight without your support. I am deeply grateful and humble for that assistance. Secondly, the New South Wales Supreme Court of Appeal held a Directions Hearing on 31 August. The court room was packed and there was standing room only. I counted at least 18 barristers and solicitors there. The Commonwealth has intervened and so has the state of New South Wales. This matter is attracting high levels of attention, even if the media are not paying any interest (yet). Importantly, the Court accepted an amendment to our summons that we obtain a: Declaration that sections 49ZS and 49ZT of the Anti-Discrimination Act (NSW) 1977 are invalid in that they impair the Plaintiff's right to freedom of political communication or impair his freedom of religion under Constitution section 116. I have been busy this week preparing submissions and other documentation to support our case. Obviously, I will not discuss our arguments in detail here and will respectfully leave them for the consideration of the New South Wales Supreme Court of Appeal. The matter has been set down for hearing in November. Suffice to say that a victory against the Anti-Discrimination Act (NSW) 1977 will have very serious ramifications for all other anti-discrimination laws, including S18C of the Racial Discrimination Act (Cth) 1975. In other words, the outcome of this case may well destroy anti-free speech laws before the politicians in parliament ever get around to repealing them. As such, when it comes to free speech, this battle is the number one game in town. And let's all hope that it is successful. Australians should not be forced to apologise for their conservative views on family and morality. I, for one, won't. Thirdly, the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal held a Case Conference yesterday and decided to proceed with an additional 8 complaints against me from Garry Burns, even though these matters are before the New South Wales Supreme Court of Appeal and even though the Tribunal has already determined that there is no jurisdiction under New South Wales anti-discrimination law to lodged complaints against people in Queensland. Don't ask me to explain the logic here. I can't. But the matter has been set for another Case Conference on 14 December 2016. As far as I am concerned, the Tribunal and the Anti-Discrimination Board below it are acting far beyond their powers. However, I will deal with that issue after the main game, which is the action in the Court of Appeal. I was very grateful for the support I received at a fundraising dinner held at the Coorparoo RSL on 27 August. Robyn Sully did a tremendous job organising it and nearly 100 people attended. We are now in the early stages of planning to organise other such dinners across Australia. From the feedback received, attendees found it a very good way of understanding these matters and their importance. >From my perspective, it was an extremely effective way of getting this particular story out and explaining to Australians how all of us are affected by totalitarian laws that seek to target conservative political beliefs. If you are interested in attending the next dinner in Brisbane it will be held at the Coorparoo RSL on 29 October at 6pm. Please email Robyn at robynsully(a)hotmail.com (mailto:robynsully@hotmail.com?subject=Fundraising%20Dinner) to book and for further details. Thank you once again to all who have assisted financially, especially over the past month. We are slowly getting through all the thank you emails and I would like to thank the volunteers who have been able to provide support in this task. Please consider small regular donations if you would like to assist: Paypal: * Click here * (http://bernardgaynor.us11.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=2f7e1c8c95718aa155…) * .

If you would like to help, please email me. Finally, it was pleasing to see that over 65,000 people visited my webpage in August. Australians are looking for conservative views that are not filtered out by the politically correct media. That is why the radical left want the anti-discrimination laws that we are fighting. They want webpages like mine shut down and to deny Australians the opportunity to hear from anyone willing to stand up to their Safe Schools programs, their support of Islam and their attacks on our Western Christian traditions.
