In an unprecedented move, the Pentagon is trying to transfer convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison so she can get treatment for her gender disorder, defense officials said.

The two agencies are just starting discussions about prospects for a transfer, the two officials said.

The plan the military was considering has not been publicly released, but Manning said in the complaint that she had specifically asked that the treatment plan "consider ... three types of treatment." [real life experience, hormone therapy, and surgery]
