What *thoughtful* feminists called on us to start referring to Bradley as *she*?

Advocates for Manning have an obligation to respect his agency and use the pronoun he had preferred prior to his arrest. None of us has the right to switch pronouns for Manning unless he tells us otherwise.

I'm glad you posted this. Bradley has my unconditional support.

If anyone has time, here's a short film about his incarceration that's so sad to watch.
