I am not taking dig on Manning, but activists. Gender is irrelevant, what matters is 10 versus 35 years.

And you proved my point.

> I will be Chelsea’s first visitor since her sister in November.

> I bring up her recent appeal to reduce her sentence from 35 years to 10 years, and she seems worried that it didn’t receive enough coverage in the press. She hopes that the world hasn’t forgotten about her.

I am afraid world has already forgotten.

Google search for "site:news.ycombinator.com Chelsea Manning" for past month gives three results including this one. "Manning" gives more results, but only in reference to Snowden and Panama Papers, no prison.

And transgender rights activists are more busy with right gender pronouns then with him/her.
