Is this some sort of ploy to get better treatment in prison?

"She" will need to be kept away from the other prisoners who are not exactly going to be friendly towards an out gay man who some will regard as a traitor!

That is what I meant by ploy.

You couldn't be more wrong. The 'female' prisoners, by that I mean the effeminate gay men, are untouchable in US prisons. They are treated like slaves, but if somebodys 'bitch' is messed with then that person is gonna have a bad day.

I think he just wants to be kept completely away from other prisoners.

The timing of this is odd..........

I thought he'd already sought counselling for gender dysmorphia before the case against him?

He was in counselling for something before he leaked the documents iirc.

She's not a gay man, she is a transgendered straight woman.

Is it bad that I thought this was in reference to an Eastenders character?

The timing is nothing except a choice by the media to run with it now while the story is at its peak so it suits them.
Bradley/Breanna/Chelsea has openly talked about problems with gender identification for years and it has been common knowledge since at least 2009.
This is just one of the first links i came across that isnt from the last few days.

http://nymag.com/news/features/bradl...-7/index4.html 2011

http://boingboing.net/2010/06/20/was...-wikileak.html 2010

The oh its a ploy comments are far wide of the mark.

Bradley is not transgendered, although he would like to be.

He would not, for example, be allowed to use a communal women's shower room.

Considering his now public stance on warfare and the moral conscience he has coupled with serious transgender issues one would have to wonder why he ever thought a career in the armed forces was the right one for him ( or her)...!!!

My first thought was that perhaps he was trying to escape his urges to become a woman by going into the most macho career he could think of. Reality, however, didn't work out for him.

Well, according to what I read it was to pay for college.

Lot of the people serving in the US Army, do so because there are very few ways to finance a college degree.

He has been incarcerated and tortured for the last 3 years of his life. I'm sure that has a bearing.
