Bradley Manning wants to be a woman.
The U.S. Army soldier sentenced this week to 35 years in prison for leaking 750,000 pages of classified documents to the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said Thursday in a statement read on NBC's "Today" show that will seek hormone therapy and live as a female named Chelsea.
"As I transition into this next phase of my life, I want everyone to know the real me," Manning said in the statement. "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."
The issue of Manning's gender identity repeatedly surfaced in his court martial on espionage charges. A widely circulated picture released by the military shows Manning in a blonde wig.

Are the we going to have to pay for his "gender reassignment" surgeries, drug and hormone treatments while he's in Levenworth?
Better idea. Give him back his blonde wig, circulate the photos he posted of him in drag to the rest of the prisoners and put him in with the general population.
Problem solved. ALL problems solved.
Do I sound harsh? Awww, ain't that just too bad. This little weasel is responsible for the deaths of a number of military and civilian personnel through his turning over of all those documents and videos to Assange.
IMHO any punishment or treatment he receives is too damned good for him.
