Info about the scandal concerning Chelsea Manning

I have taken great interest in this subject and indeed everything concerned with whistle-blowing. I am not 'transgender' or have a connection with that world, but I sympathise with Chelsea because of what she has suffered, and I support what she has done.

I received the email below and I hope you will act upon it.
