Shouldn't her personal circumstances (serving time in a men's prison) play a role in the decision to pardon?

  That's part of it, but also the punitive solitary confinement which has reached consensus among many people to be torture, and the abrogation of civil rights with refusals to allow meetings with Chelsea's lawyers. We're letting some cowboy military officials inflict illegal punishments because they are mad and that needs to be reined in as well. The military answers to civilian control in the US. I am also well aware that the UCMJ which all service people fall under has different provisions than civilian courts but these officials aren't even following that.
