The military may no longer refer to    Manning as a man.  <\/p>\n<p>    Manning, formerly known as Bradley, announced in August 2013    that she was a woman.  <\/p>\n<p>    \"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want    everyone to know the real me,\" Manning said in the statement at    the time. \"I am Chelsea Manning. I am a female. Given the way    that I feel, and have felt since childhood, I want to begin    hormone therapy as soon as possible. I hope that you will    support me in this transition.\"  <\/p>\n<p>    Last month, the Army approved hormone therapy for her.  <\/p>\n<p>    Thursday's ruling also means Manning will henceforth only be    known by her new name, Chelsea, not Bradley.  <\/p>\n<p><!-- Auto Generated --><\/p>\n<p>Visit link:<br \/>\n<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.tdm.com\/Top-News\/US\/2015\/03\/05\/US-military-ordered-to-refer-to-Chelsea-Manning-as-female\/3141425603958\" title=\"U.S. military ordered to refer to Chelsea Manning as female\">U.S. military ordered to refer to Chelsea Manning as female<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> WASHINGTON, March 5 (UPI) -- The U.S. military has been ordered to use female pronouns when referring to Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier who is serving 35 years in prison for giving classified military documents to Wikileaks.
