Manning is a person whose body—whatever its sex—has rotted in neglect along with our freedoms. In this crucial moment, we can talk about information freedom OR we can talk about pronouns. And before you tell me "we can walk and chew gum at the same time”, please consider that fighting for our access to a document of mass-murder is a bit harder than “walking” and that changing ideas about gender that have developed over 4000 years is a bit more taxing than “chewing gum”.
