In reply to the discussion: Chelsea Manning is teaching me a lot about my "compatriots" today [View all]Catherina
(35,568 posts)93. WTF are you dishonestly saying?
Really? I suggested a photo of Bradley Manning in a blond wig was offensive?
Who the fuck do you think you're fooling? You have some fucking nerve after your record. Are you ever out of your league. Again.
What I *suggested* was that known homophobes and transphobes would seize that to thrust even more hate on Manning because she dared make your hero look bad. You wouldn't know any of those people would you? Those foot soldiers of the empire's every crime?
Let me know if you need a MAP to find your way out of your dishonest, vitriolic attacks on people who dare criticize things you've defended here.

I didn't agree with what Manning did before I learned anything about his gender identity issues.

I'm going to respond, not to kindly, to transphobia, whether one thinks it's hurtful or not.

Manning, IMO, is guilty of treason. Manning's gender identification is of no consequence to me.

But factually speaking, Manning was not even charged with treason. This makes your opinion silly.
