Defense officials say the Pentagon is trying to transfer convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so that she can get treatment for her gender disorder.

Eventually this person will be freed from prison and will have to be re-integrated into society.

My question is: how much (If anything.) do the rest of us owe this person? The treatment that this person will require will be pretty expensive, I'm sure.

Who is going to pay those bills? Who should pay those bills?

Any ideas?

manning is a he not a she!

he stuck with being born male.
 
Medical treatment is a basic human right, so there's nothing wrong with this in my eyes. And it's not all that expensive.

He or she isn't covered by Obamacare while in prison ?

I guess that's what happens when Congress passes a bill without reading it first.
 
Isn't it amazing how Manning only sought gender reassignment surgery when on the government dime? Prior to that, counseling seemed to suffice.

He was an unfortunately stupid kid that did something that was very costly to others and, in fact, most of us. He had to be punished and probably he should remain in custody to the end. When the sentence is fulfilled? Well let him go to fend for himself as any other gender sick ex convict would have to do. Or do you think he should get special treatment? If you do? Pay for it.

She should try to make it though prison time as a man, and then have her transformation and treatments after, I think. If she can manage prison time for 35 years, she could just purchase women's clothing and shoes, makeup, breast prosthesis at her own expense. I've seen quite a few males that were passable as females.

Who should pay for prisoners to be fed? If we don't owe them anything why feed them?
 
If that doesn't tell you we're doomed as a nation, nothing will. A traitor being given extra special treatment because of politically correct feelings decision making. I don't care she's trans, but a traitor doesn't deserve this.

I'd of tried her, found her guilty and had her shot then buried her in her favorite dress and been done with it.

BRADLEY Manning can do what he wants when he gets out of prison. Until then hell no, not a dime.

It's cosmetic surgery, not medicinal.

If he/she isn't covered by the ACA, he/she can always file a complaint.

Which we know will be quickly handled, eh?

In any case, we really know that this isn't your, mine, or any other American's problem,eh?

This is Pvt Mannings own personal problem and s/he will have to deal with it.

I believe in and support equal rights for all.

equal results are not likely since different people have different abilities.




IOW: every human being for themselves and may the best critter win.

Don't blame me if you didn't get a head start.

Either you're just rolling and you honestly don't have a ****ing clue what you're talking about, probably both.
 
She should not have gotten such a harsh sentence in the first place.

Actually I think her name is Chelsea Manning now.
 
I would say counseling would be appropriate and something they already provide the prison population (I base this on extensive TV research). I would not allow surgery unless it was somehow justified as life saving. And I don't think you can do that.

On a side note...how do they decide what population of people to put a transgender person in?
