Of course Jezebel focuses on the least relevant emails and ignores the meat and potatoes because *gasp* it is critical of their fave.

The Muslims are making babies at record rates in Europe. It’s only the white men who have become too feminized to reproduce.

Body shaming is okay on Jezebel now?

CHELSEA MANNING: “Cut my dick off and give me a cunt— or I’ll kill myself!”

I wonder if there’s a second depression for trans people that comes with realizing altered genitalia doesn’t fix everything. I watched my cousin go off the deep end after her surgery and I always suspected that was the catalyst. Although maybe an unstable man doesn’t just transition to a stable woman.

So, she may be transferred into a maximum security prison or permanent solitary confinement for charges relating to her suicide attempt, when it could have been prevented by giving her treatment earlier. Are they trying to do everything they can to make her kill herself?

The most important part of this is the In Service transition piece. Other stories about this kind of buried that and made it seem as if this is something special just for Manning but it’s really a new benefit being given to transgender soldiers in the US under a new administration policy designed to make it easier for…

No, you would be wrong. I don’t give a fuck what your cherry-picked links say. People require food, water, and the very most basic health care (setting a broken bone, for instance). Seeing a shrink and/or having your dick cut off are not medically necessary, and if you commit suicide because you don’t get either, it’s…

Go back to gawker you fucking filth

I take your point, but no one is going to prison for free healthcare.

The last we need is people committing crime just to get their gender assignment surgery done.

Whoever covers it, the surgery will be much less expensive in the long run than years of therapy and medications for trying to deal with what not having the surgery causes. The depression, anxiety, hopelessness, thoughts of self-harm, etc. Getting the surgery now will save the huge expense of 35 years of inevitable…

Either Tricare or a military treatment facility. Either way, tax payers are paying for it.

You helped pay for my necessary hernia surgery when I was enlisted. Sorry no one asked you if that was cool with you before they signed off on it.

False. You may lose your rights as a citizen, but you don’t lose your human rights.

Gender dysphoria causes extreme psychological distress.

Damn, dude. What happened? Did she rape your teddy bear or something?

It doesn’t matter. She is in prison and has a medical need.

Human rights are available only to those who earn them, because that’s how human rights work.

This is about her getting the treatment she needs now, not about her past crimes.
