In September, Manning filed a lawsuit in federal district court in Washington, D.C., against Secretary of Defense Hagel, claiming she had "been denied access to medically necessary treatment" for gender dysphoria. She sued to be allowed to grow her hair longer and use cosmetics, and to receive hormone treatments "to express her female gender". [297] 2015 Caesar, Ed (December 19, 2010). "Manning Article".

Her early Oklahoma years helps explain why she joined up at least. “My childhood,” she writes, “now feels like it was lived under rigid cis gender sensibilities.” Almost comically so. Dad banned his son from watching his favourite movie, The Little Mermaid, and filled his room with military toys. Little Bradley put sister Casey’s hand-me-down Barbies in GI Joe uniforms and sent them on missions.Then, as an injured man tries to crawl away, a van of Iraqis pulls up. “Good Samaritans trying to help,” writes Manning. A helicopter shoots again using shells that can pierce armour, hitting two children in the van. “Well, it’s their fault for bringing kids into a battle,” one soldier says. Even so, Manning continues to take her struggle to find an outlet as proof of a systemic problem. “We need to have more ways to talk about what’s going on in government,” she says.

The news on TV was grim. “I don’t know who I am,” she recalls in the park. “Maybe the military will allow me to figure that out.” She looks out toward the river. “It was a naive thought, but it was very real to me in 2007.”
