Well this was supposed to be published on December 17, Chelsea Manning's birthday, but as usual, life and work got in the way of my good intentions.

Send her a belated birthday card, or just say hi at the following address

PVT Bradley E Manning
89289
1300 N Warehouse Rd
Ft Leavenworth KS 66027-2304
USA

Yes, you HAVE to use her old name, if you don't your correspondence will not reach her, because, as you already know, the military is quite transphobic.

Outfront Minnesota website http://www.outfront.org/avp/tffa or check out their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/events/144257365672803/ I really hope to make it there for the January 20th meeting.
