Why a person's identity is worth respecting!

I've wanted this past week to produce a post on my feelings on Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning.  Not about her actions regarding the Wikileaks scandal, the charges levied at her because of same, or anything that focuses on that whole cluster-fuck of an issue.  What I've felt that I wanted to broach was her identity and how it's being mishandled, lazily (or deliberately) skewed, and how so many in the media and world at large seem to have a honking big double-standard regarding said identity.

Hey, better later than never...

...or not.  Anyone that's cared for this little endeavor of mine, thank you.    I can only offer my profound apologies for my lack of updates.  Things have been weird.  That's not an excuse...just what has been.  I've allowed it to distract me from the purpose of this blog....and I shant do so again.

Now then...let's kick this pig!
