Black is white, up is down, and not having your penis cut off is ‘cruel and unusual punishment’ [Darleen Click]

The ACLU jumps the shark in bringing suit in federal court on behalf of convicted traitor Bradley “Chelsea” Manning.

Chelsea Manning, the U.S. Army private convicted of leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, is suing the federal government to receive appropriate medical care for the gender disorder she was diagnosed with in 2010, the ACLU said on Tuesday.

In the suit, the American Civil Liberties Union contends that Army medical personnel diagnosed Manning with gender dysphoria in 2010, an identity disorder where a person rejects the gender they were assigned with at birth.

Manning is suing to receive hormone therapy, permission to follow female grooming standards and access to a doctor trained to deal with her condition.

“The government continues to deny Ms. Manning’s access to necessary medical treatment for gender dysphoria, without which she will continue to suffer severe psychological harms,” Chase Strangio, an attorney with the ACLU Gay Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender project, said in a statement. “Such clear disregard of well-established medical protocols constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.”

Next up, ACLU sues to make taxpayers pony up for amputations for people with apotemnophilia.

    Someone please explain the effective difference between gender dysphoria and apotemnophilia. Either way the person is obviously extremely mentally ill, and needs oodles of therapy.

    Cranky

    Gender Dysphoria has lobbiests.

    a sane gov’t would take the traitor out and shoot his manhood off

  4. eCurmudgeon says:

    Tragic that if any part of Mr. Manning’s anatomy were to be cut off, it wasn’t via Le Guillotine

    it is
    la guillotine

    OMG, newrouter. Clearly California has first world problems. If/when the system crashes, do you think that these poor souls would consent to burning a lump of coal to stay warm or cook their food?

    Greetings:

    All this is making me kind of nervous that what we have for a medical community might declare homosexuality some kind of “dysphoria”.

  8. happyfeet says:

    i just don’t understand who these retards are what can look at gays and lesbians and think they belong under the same umbrella as trannies

    it makes no sense

    these people have nothing in common

    no lesbians i know are interested in cutting off their dicks and I don’t know any gay people like that either

    it’s just stupid

  9. newrouter says:

    >it’s just stupid<

    tolerance for stupidity is diversity no?

  10. happyfeet says:

    i dunno

  11. newrouter says:

    >i dunno<

    that's both racist and anti lbgxyz. pikachu!!11!!

    Thought you were gonna get away with that one, didn’t you?

  13. happyfeet says:

    it’s still stupid

    trannies are extra-special lil snowflakes they deserve an umbrella all their own

    That’s an excellent point.

    I’ve known a few boys who dressed up like girls (some gay, some not), and I’ve known a few gay men, and it’s rare that any of them want to alter their anatomy. Those who do are a tiny subset, and they really need help, not “tolerance.”

    Ah. Good to know. Would hate to be mocked by the French about it…

  16. serr8d says:

    Hmmmph. Amanda Marcotte would glad lend teeth to the effort.

  17. serr8d says:

    Gladly. Which I’d be if preview would return!

  18. eCurmudgeon says:

    I thought it was missing an extra “a”, not a “y”.

    (I denounce myself.)

    Well, someone has to say it: He’ll still be a dickhead no matter what.
