Court Orders Military to Stop Calling Chelsea Manning "He" 
-----------------------------------------------------------


 
U.S. Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning has won a court order
instructing the military to stop referring to her with masculine
pronouns. Manning announced her identity as a transgender woman in 2013
a day after she was sentenced to 35 years in prison for giving a trove
of secret documents to Wiki Leaks. Last month, she was finally allowed
to begin hormone treatment.
