I am sympathetic to her cause and I think we can all universally support her call for human respect and dignity.
I realized a few things from this article and from her:
1) It's too easy to up-vote or give it a nod and move on
2) I'm generally ignorant about her story and the issues around it
3) She is wildly courageous
One and two go hand-in-hand and I would blame myself for being complicit in her dignity, respect or rights being violated. I started taking a look around to learn more and understand more, and it is limited. This helped a little bit (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-wikileaks-manning-idUSKCN109044 http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-wikileaks-manning-idUS...). No surprise that most of the headlines are focused on WikiLeaks, or her transition. So, if you have more information on her current struggle, I'd be grateful if you shared it here.
Finally, I have to highlight her courage in releasing information related to WikiLeaks, transitioning while in prison, and now, continuing to fight for herself.
