Chelsea Manning may be transferred to civilian prison for gender treatment

Associated Press in Washington
theguardian.com, Wednesday 14 May 2014 08.39 BST

The Pentagon is trying to transfer Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so that she can get treatment for her gender disorder.

Manning, who was convicted last year of passing classified documents to WikiLeaks, has asked for hormone therapy and to be able to live as a woman.

It was the first such request by a transgender military inmate, and set up a dilemma for the US defence department: how to treat a soldier for a diagnosed disorder without violating longstanding military policy.

My apologies if this was posted before I became news staff. I have not seen it on here though and thought it should be posted.
