00:00:00.967 --> 00:00:03.667
A TOUGH METHOD FOR THE GRIEVING 
 


1
00:00:03.667 --> 00:00:04.033
FAMILIES.
 


2
00:00:04.033 --> 00:00:04.567
>> ABSOLUTELY.
 


3
00:00:04.567 --> 00:00:08.767
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
 


4
00:00:08.767 --> 00:00:10.333
>> A NEW DEVELOPMENT ON A STORY 
 


5
00:00:10.333 --> 00:00:13.467
WE HAVE BEEN TALKING B. THEY ARE
 


6
00:00:13.467 --> 00:00:14.767
APPROVING HORMONE TREATMENT FOR 
 


7
00:00:14.767 --> 00:00:15.767
CHELSEA MANNING.
 


8
00:00:15.767 --> 00:00:19.433
THE FORMER ANALYST SERVING A 
 


9
00:00:19.433 --> 00:00:22.500
35-YEAR SENTENCE SENDING 
 


10
00:00:22.500 --> 00:00:24.400
CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS TO THE 
 


11
00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:25.333
WIKILEAKS WEBSITE.
 


12
00:00:25.333 --> 00:00:26.500
>> GOOD MORNING.
 


13
00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:27.967
THIS IS A HUGE BREAKTHROUGH AND 
 


14
00:00:27.967 --> 00:00:30.133
BIGGER STEP FOR THE ARMY.
 


15
00:00:30.133 --> 00:00:31.700
THERE WERE VERY FEW HERE IN THE 
 


16
00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:33.800
PENTAGON OR MILITARY WHO THOUGHT
 


17
00:00:33.800 --> 00:00:35.467
THEY WOULD SEE THIS DAY.
 


18
00:00:35.467 --> 00:00:39.934
WHEN THE ARMY WOULD NOT ONLY 
 


19
00:00:39.934 --> 00:00:40.633
PERMIT, BUT PAY FOR TREATMENT 
 


20
00:00:40.633 --> 00:00:42.867
FOR BRADLEY MANNING'S TRANSITION
 


21
00:00:42.867 --> 00:00:44.066
TO A WOMAN.
 


22
00:00:44.066 --> 00:00:45.967
WHEN SENTENCED TO 35 YEARS IN 
 


23
00:00:45.967 --> 00:00:47.834
PRISON FOR LEAKING THOUSANDS OF 
 


24
00:00:47.834 --> 00:00:50.834
DOCUMENTS TO WIKILEAKS, HE WAS 
 


25
00:00:50.834 --> 00:00:52.433
PRIVATE FIRST CLASS BRADLEY 
 


26
00:00:52.433 --> 00:00:52.800
MANNING.
 


27
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:54.667
IN A STATEMENT READ BY SAVANNAH 
 


28
00:00:54.667 --> 00:00:56.800
HERE ON TODAY, MANNING DROPPED A
 


29
00:00:56.800 --> 00:00:57.500
BOMBSHELL.
 


30
00:00:57.500 --> 00:00:59.000
>> I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW THE 
 


31
00:00:59.000 --> 00:00:59.667
REAL ME.
 


32
00:00:59.667 --> 00:01:01.100
I AM CHELSEA MANNING.
 


33
00:01:01.100 --> 00:01:03.700
I AM A FEMALE.
 


34
00:01:03.700 --> 00:01:08.233
>> MANNING'S LAWYER SAID CHELSEA
 


35
00:01:08.233 --> 00:01:09.533
WANTED TO BEGIN HORMONE THERAPY 
 


36
00:01:09.533 --> 00:01:09.967
IMMEDIATELY.
 


37
00:01:09.967 --> 00:01:12.100
>> THE GOAL IS TO BE COMFORTABLE
 


38
00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:14.533
IN HER SKIN AND BE THE PERSON 
 


39
00:01:14.533 --> 00:01:15.700
SHE NEVER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO 
 


40
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:16.767
BE.
 


41
00:01:16.767 --> 00:01:18.934
>> FOR A YEAR AND A HALF, 
 


42
00:01:18.934 --> 00:01:20.800
OFFICIALS DENIED CHELSEA THE 
 


43
00:01:20.800 --> 00:01:22.467
HORMONE THERAPY TO TRANSITION TO
 


44
00:01:22.467 --> 00:01:23.400
A WOMAN.
 


45
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:25.000
SHE SUED THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT 
 


46
00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:28.934
AND LAST WEEK THE COMMANDER 
 


47
00:01:28.934 --> 00:01:31.600
APPROVED THE TREATMENT.
 


48
00:01:31.600 --> 00:01:34.633
AS AN ARMY PRIVATE, SHE PASSED 
 


49
00:01:34.633 --> 00:01:36.567
SECRETS TO LICKY LEAKS INCLUDING
 


50
00:01:36.567 --> 00:01:38.600
VIDEO OF THE HELICOPTER ATTACK 
 


51
00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:42.400
IN BAGHDAD THAT KILLED INNOCENT 
 


52
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:42.767
CIVILIANS.
 


53
00:01:42.767 --> 00:01:44.300
EVEN THEN MANNING HAD A SECRET 
 


54
00:01:44.300 --> 00:01:45.233
OF HIS.
 


55
00:01:45.233 --> 00:01:48.667
SEEN IN A WOMAN'S WIG AND 
 


56
00:01:48.667 --> 00:01:50.500
LIPSTICK, MANNING WAS DEALING 
 


57
00:01:50.500 --> 00:01:54.066
WITH GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER.
 


58
00:01:54.066 --> 00:01:56.433
HE COULD BE PARDONENED IN SIX 
 


59
00:01:56.433 --> 00:01:59.100
YEARS AND HORMONE THERAPY COULD 
 


60
00:01:59.100 --> 00:02:00.100
BEGIN ANY DAY.
 


61
00:02:00.100 --> 00:02:02.567
CHELSEA MANNING IS NOT SEEKING 
 


62
00:02:02.567 --> 00:02:04.800
SEX REASSIGNMENT SURGERY THAT WE
 


63
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:05.900
KNOW OF.
 


64
00:02:05.900 --> 00:02:07.433
THE ARMY DIDN'T DO THIS 
 


65
00:02:07.433 --> 00:02:07.800
WILLINGLY.
 


66
00:02:07.800 --> 00:02:09.467
THEY WERE FORCED INTO IT.
 


67
00:02:09.467 --> 00:02:11.367
THERE IS NO PRESSURE ON THE 
 


68
00:02:11.367 --> 00:02:14.834
MILITARY AND PENTAGON TO ALLOW 
 


69
00:02:14.834 --> 00:02:15.734
TRANSGENDERS TO OPENLY SERVE IN 
 


70
00:02:15.734 --> 00:02:17.834
THE MILITARY, BUT NOBODY THINKS 
 


71
00:02:17.834 --> 00:02:19.433
THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ANY TIME
