Too blatant.

Novel, if everyone and their grandmother thinks you're hard to comprehend...

Exactly what i fucking said

... for what it's worth, you've never actually typed the word grandmother in any post you've made on B12, at least according to the search function. You've included the word grandmother in two of your posts via quotation, but nothing more than that.

Unless you actually type out the quotes, which. Yeah.

So... not exactly what you said, no.[/pedant]

You can't end being understandable until you've started, thats just weird.

[Descan]

At least someone is.

Manning's statement was completely out of the fucking blue and irrelevant to the situation. Stupid media doing this for ratings and views.

[scriver]

I'm sure she did, SalmonGod. :/

His response sums up how the media, even those supposedly supportive of her, have been treating Manning, isn't it?

It was pretty clear she was trans for a long time now even though her team was keeping it quiet.

P.S. Fuck everybody suggesting this was some kind of conspiracy on the media's part.

How was it pretty clear?

Yes.

And then two letters under the name 'Breanna' which got her labeled as unstable.

Of course there were some obfuscating elements, such as her intent to hide her transition until the trial was over, but from the trickle of information we've had access to there was a pretty clear picture being painted of somebody who was transgender and suffering for it in that hell called the military. Maybe not 100% but beyond reasonable doubt in my mind.

How was it pretty clear?

Because there have been regular news reports on it from a wide variety of outlets since 2010, when the chatlogs with Lamos where it was revealed first came out.

I mean, sure, people who don't know who Lamos is probably won't know about it, but it's not like the information was hidden in any way - it just means some people haven't actually been following along.

I've known about it for years. . .

There seems to be a lot of backlash towards Manning over her "coming out" like that. I've seen some pretty bad things said about her, maybe this will raise awareness and help to put issues like this out in the public forum.

I've always heard him described as gay. But being trans is pretty much exactly the same general public perception.
