I’m… literally crying right now?!!!???!???
Um, context for if people need it:
- Chelsea Manning was the hero who leaked most of the famous Iraq and Afganistan leaks to Wikileaks – most famously the Collateral Murder video
- While pending trial she was placed in Solitary Confinement from 2010 to 2013, with all the bad that implies
- After her trial and sentencing – 35 years – she publicly came out as trans, and asked to go on hormones etc.
- Okay now remember that she had been in SOLITARY for the past three years and start crying right now…
- In late 2014 to early 2015 – 4-5 years locked up – she was finally permitted to go on hormones, get therapy, clothes, makeup, speech therapy, etc.
- She is currently filing her appeal (and if you could throw a couple of bucks at her legal fund (click the link) she could really use it…)
- I… I don’t know how long it’s been since she’s been able to laugh with and cry with and talk with and HUG a friendly human being…
Chelsea Manning is being so much stronger than any one person should ever have to be…
