On April 5, 2010, the world woke up to a scandal the likes of which had never been seen before. Wikileaks had released a video, entitled "Collateral Damage", showing US helicopters firing on members of the press and innocent civilians in Iraq. At the center of this storm of controversy was one man you'd never suspect: the mild-mannered 22-year-old Private Bradley Manning, who was the source of the leak.
After a turbulent childhood and a realization that he wasn't attracted to girls like society demands, Bradley Manning caused another stir in 2013, the day after his sentencing, when she emerged as Chelsea Manning, demanding that she be referred to with the proper pronoun and announcing the next stage of a fascinating transition. She'd felt that she was a woman since childhood, and now was the time to act.
