Chelsea Manning has been freed from the Fort Leavenworth military prison, according to a US Army spokesperson:
In January she tweeted that she wanted to move to Maryland after being released, a state where she previously lived. On Monday she tweeted: "Two more days until the freedom of civilian life ^_^ Now hunting for private #healthcare like millions of Americans =P".
Manning will remain on active army duty while her military court conviction remains under appeal. She will have healthcare benefits but will be unpaid, the army says. An online campaign set up by her attorney has raised $150,000 (£115,725) to pay for her living expenses for the first year after her release. If the appeal is denied, she could be dishonourably discharged from the army, US media say.

He will never naturally carry a baby.
Look, I'm basically OK with people being weird, even if it is disturbing. Just don't drag anybody else into it please. I'll even be sort of supportive if there are no children involved and I'm not expected to use a non-male pronoun.
You're a dude. You're weird as could be. OK, whatever, it's icky but not inherently affecting anybody else very much. It's not much worse than people with horrible acne, obesity, and other grossness.
If you start demanding I participate in your fantasy though, using "she" and "her", then I'm pissed. If you have kids or make any attempt to acquire them, I'm pissed. If you have a normal spouse who wasn't expecting this, then I'm also pretty well pissed, though less so than with an affair.

Proof of you having a genetic analysis of Pvt. Manning is missing from your comment.
Meanwhile, the possible variations of human genotypes other than XX and XY is a significant number. [wikipedia.org]

I won't ever naturally carry a baby either, because unless Yahweh decides to make me the next Virgin Mary, lesbianism is 100% effective birth control. What's your fucking point?
I am "that girl" your mother warned you about...
