[elleng]

'Chelsea Manning, who announced the day after being sentenced to prison in 2013 for leaking government files that she was female, has been told that the United States military will allow her to proceed with gender reassignment surgery, her lawyer said on Tuesday.

“Chelsea has received word from the military that they are moving forward with the recommendation for surgery,” said Chase Strangio, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. Mr. Strangio said that he did not know whether the Army had clarified who would pay for Ms. Manning’s treatment.'>>>
