Pentagon weighs moving Manning to civilian prison for gender treatment
The Defense Department weighs transferring convicted leaker Chelsea Manning from Fort Leavenworth to a federal facility so she can seek gender dysphoria treatment. Manning’s lawyer warns the move could force her to choose between treatment and safety, while officials say the military lacks approved medical options for such care. Manning, who entered the Army as Bradley, was convicted of passing classified documents to WikiLeaks and is serving a 35-year term.
