Bradley Manning

Chelsea Manning, who until 2014 bore the male name Bradley, is a citizen of the United States of America, who in an instant became famous much more than many people related to show business. This woman (at that time still a man) became known after she made public a large number of secret military documents.

Bradley Manning's biography began in a small town called Crisent in Oklahoma. The boy was born on December 17, 1987. Manning's father, Brian, served in the Navy, on duty for a long time in Wales. There the man met Susan Fox. The lovers got married, and in 1976 they had a daughter. The girl was named Casey. After 3 years, the family moves to the United States, to Brian's homeland, where Bradley is born a little later.

Sister Bradley recalls that the parents often drank, not paying attention to the children, and it was Casey who had to take care of the brother. Already in childhood, Manning became interested in computer games, in the fictional universes of which it was easy to hide from the indifference of parents. Studying at school was easy for Bradley, especially the boy was attracted by computer science and natural sciences.

A little later, Manning's parents divorced, and Bradley's mother and her son returned to Wales. In a British school, the teenager also did not have problems with academic performance, but classmates often teased Bradley because of her overly feminine manner and a clear American accent.

Manning never took root in the new country and, after graduating from school, at the age of 17, moved to his native States, settling with his father and his new family. The young man immediately got a job as a programmer, but was soon fired.

At the same time, Bradley Manning confessed to his father that he was gay. The young man openly applied makeup and brought the guys into the house. Because of this, there were frequent conflicts with the stepmother. One day, unable to restrain himself, Bradley threatened a woman with a knife. After that, the father kicked the young man out of the house.

At the insistence of his father, Manning is sent to the army. Military service was very difficult for the young man: Bradley seemed unbearably heavy and physical exertion, and incessant control from senior officers. Relations with colleagues also left much to be desired: being short (157 cm) and underweight (53 kg), Manning was often the object of ridicule.

In 2009, Bradley Manning is sent to Iraq. Initially, the authorities considered him unsuitable, but there was a very shortage of specialists. In Iraq, Manning gets a computer at his disposal, as well as access to classified Pentagon documents. Bradley, like the rest of his fellow programmers, has to work 12 hours in stuffy and cramped rooms.

While working, Manning came across a video in which the US military shoot civilians from a helicopter. The young man was seized by the realization of the injustice of what was happening. Bradley posted this video on the Internet, and he himself began to look for other evidence of war crimes.

In 2010, Manning was able to download 400,000 materials related to the war in Iraq, as well as 91,000 documents related to the war in Afghanistan. The programmer wrote down all the data on a disk and calmly took it out of the base, writing "Lady Gaga" on the cover of the disk.

After a while, Bradley goes on vacation to the States. There the programmer turns to The Washington Post and The New York Times, offering to transfer the information he has obtained. However, representatives of the publications were not interested in Manning's information or, perhaps, they simply did not believe the young man. Then he contacts Julian Assange's WikiLeaks, famous for publishing classified information that got to them in various ways.

As Manning later admitted, talking to WikiLeaks representatives helped to lighten up hours of hard work and interactions with unfriendly coworkers. In April 2010, Bradley, returning from vacation, wrote a report to the command about how he felt like a woman.

Manning was sent to an interview with a psychologist, during which the young man lost his temper and hit the doctor in the face. It is worth noting that by this time, many of the documents that Manning submitted to WikiLeaks had already been made public, and the military was intensively looking for the source of the information leak. Three days after the incident, Bradley Manning was detained in the psychologist's office.

The young man was taken into custody. Manning was charged under 22 counts. According to rumors, the treatment of the programmer in prison bordered on torture: Bradley was forced to stand or walk for hours, did not give out bed linen and was forced to sleep naked. The court, held on August 22, 2013, sentenced Manning to 35 years in prison. Bradley himself confessed to only 10 counts, claiming that he only wanted to show people the true face of the war.

The day after the sentencing, Bradley Manning demanded that the court recognize him as a woman. Doctors, having examined Bradley, diagnosed the young man with gender dysphoria (inability to accept his gender). Then Manning began to insist on the appropriate treatment. In 2015, the military command decided to allow such treatment.

Bradley, who chose the female name Chelsea, began treatment. In the same year, the court officially recognized Chelsea Manning as a woman.

It is worth noting that in the case of the disclosure of classified information, many lawyers sided with Chelsea, emphasizing that Manning only wanted to tell the world about human rights violations and crimes committed by the military. Chelsea's lawyer has filed a petition for clemency. At that time, US President Barack Obama did not consider it possible to pardon Chelsea Manning, but made concessions and reduced the sentence.

In the spring of 2017, news about the release of Chelsea Manning spread on Instagram, Twitter and other social networks. Photos of the woman again appeared on the covers of newspapers and magazines. Indeed, on May 17, 2017, Manning was released. After her release from custody, Chelsea claimed to be full of optimism and hope for a change in her life. She first introduced the public to her pictures before and after gender reassignment. Later, the former convict showed the first glamorous shot in a swimsuit.

At one time, the girl continued to be listed in the military department, but without receiving a salary. Manning later took up human rights work. Chelsea organized a world tour in which she participated with lectures. However, not all countries agreed to let the former US Air Force analyst into their territory. In Australia, where 3 performances of Manning were planned, they demanded to deprive the girl of the right to enter.

In early 2018, Manning announced serious political ambitions. She ran as a candidate for the Maryland Democratic Party for the US Senate.

Doubts about sexual orientation arose in Chelsea (then Bradley) as a teenager. At first, the teenager hid it, later, returning to the United States, he opened up to his father and acquaintances, starting to meet with guys. However, none of the relationships ever got really serious.

Already in the army, Bradley met with programmers from Boston, with one of whom developed a romantic relationship. However, they did not become permanent either.

Now Manning's personal life is still closed from prying eyes. At the beginning of 2019, the girl became the heroine of the next issue of the British magazine Dazed. Her photo appeared on the cover of the publication, about which Chelsea informed fans from the page of her personal Instagram.

In early 2019, Chelsea Manning was summoned to a WikiLeaks publication trial. The ex-soldier was demanded to testify before the Grand Jury, which the girl categorically refused to do. For disobeying the court, Manning was again remanded in custody. Chelsea took the verdict calmly.

On April 11, 2019, in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was detained by Scotland Yard employees after the Ecuadorian government officially denied the Australian political asylum. The reason for the arrest was the violations committed by the journalist during his release on bail in 2012.

However, it became known that the programmer was arrested at the request of the United States. The indictment from the United States Department of Justice, which was released shortly after Assange's arrest, dealt with espionage on his part and Julian's conspiracy with former US military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.
