By now, I am sure most of you have heard that Bradley Manning has changed his name to Chelsea Manning and wants to be sent to a prison for women instead of a prison for men. I do not claim to understand why anyone wants to change their sexual identity, but I support their right to do that if they want. But I have to say, it does not seem like a very wise choice for Bradley/Chelsea to make right now... he/she could end up in the all-male prison where he/she will be beaten and raped. Or, maybe he/she will end up in a women's prison - in which case, he/she may be a genius. I have no idea.
