This cartoon says more about our prison system and about male attitudes towards women and transgender persons than it does about Manning. It says a lot about the assumption that in prison men will rape other men to establish superiority and that this is funny. It’s not funny.
Manning will not receive any sex therapy except what comes at other inmates instructions, none from the government. Considering the number of veterans who are incarcerated, Manning will probably be relegated to a private secluded part of a facility and have very little contact with the general population. (What better way to make a name for yourself than to kill someone who has received so much media attention?
It proves Manning was “screwed up” mentally, as to identity only one issue, before he was allowed access to classified information. While being “gay” or otherwise OPENLY shouldn’t affect the review- because it isn’t a “blackmail” issue like it used to be, this guy never should have had a security clearance!!
No one wants to live the kind of life that the gays and all have to live.It is not a choice.Some people are born into the wrong gender to match their brains. I don’t think that is a reason to damn someone. How is your gay-dar? Do you think that you can tell by looking? It is a genetic thing, maybe an accident.I feel sad for what (s(he) will have to endure.
Also this person’s mom abused alcohol all during the pregnancy.this child’s face shows tell-tale signs of fetal alcohol syndrome. A somewhat flat face with no clear upper lip thing.
Maternal alcohol abuse subjects a child to a bad place, It’s the leading cause of mental retardation at worst and someone who has trouble learning at best.
Got some stats on that Wabbit? The list of causes for mental retardation is a full page of 6pt type. Substance abuse is way down the list. ‘Unknown causes’ far exceeds it.
The government of this country will go to any lengths to separate children from their mothers. The reason for that is simple: mothers care about their children and are reluctant to allow others to abuse them. Mothers are an obstruction to government’s determination to consign children to open exploitation by commerce and industry, so they must be demonized.
I wonder what the stats say about the intellectual capacity of children battered by step fathers and fathers.

I guess Manning’s next destination will need a Chelsea handler.

Pretty much.[]Even MSN and a few other sources are doubting that his fellow inmates will care either way.

Heard a rumor that Manning is going to claim that he is really Chelsea Clinton! Look out Hillary!!

Look at the words above the cartoon. It’s about Manning & the fact that he’s going to jail, regardless of what he calls himself.

The implication here being that if you are a woman you want to be raped? WTF.
This is not funny, it’s insulting.
Also Chelsea Manning is a woman and your use of a male pronoun is incorrect and also insulting.
Whether this cartoon is intending to be funny or not is beside the point.

Cheap shot at a braver person than the cartoonist will ever be. FREE CHELSEA MANNING.
