…but this story is so absurd. You have to read this to
believe it. I’m not sure Bradley Manning has officially changed his name to
Chelsea or not, but does anyone at CBS realize that changing your name does not
change your gender? Chelsea Manning is a man! That’s it. There is nothing ambiguous about it. To
pretend otherwise makes them look absolutely foolish.
I will assume Bradley has officially changed his name to Chelsea and
refer to him as such, but what if Chelsea were to escape from captivity and CBS
ran a story about that? According to their own reporting practices it would
read something like this:
"Fort Leavenworth authorities are searching for an inmate who escaped on Wednesday. At about 11:45 a.m., Chelsea Elizabeth Manning escaped by walking away from an inmate work crew assigned to the field squad.
"Manning is a white female who is 5’2”, 140 lbs with short, dirty-blonde hair. Anyone who sees this fugitive should immediately contact Fort Leavenworth officials."
How would that ever lead someone to this person?
This is really mind-boggling to me. I guess in the minds of the people in charge at CBS, this person is black.
