I wonder if you could amend the post to reflect Manning's explicit request to be referred to by female pronouns and the name Chelsea:<br />http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/22/chelsea-manning-bradley-full-statement <br />(This is not news - http://tinyurl.com/mf3vukn - and there's another post to be written on the continuous use of Bradley/he/him by the main news agencies...) Whatever our views of the sentence in this case (and I don't have enough time to discuss my position here now), I think it is important to at least refer to the person involved by the name/gender they identify with.Sorcha Uí Chonnachtaighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336728903286001999noreply@blogger.com
