#FLASH I'm self-identifyin as a sperm whale. Taxpayers pay for treatment (stop short of genitals) & I need a new prison to house me.
Cool?

Sure, but there's a lot to parse here. Does he not agree that transsexuals or gender confusion are real? Or thinks Manning is just faking?

This comment is Manning specific, made it clear in another comment.pic.twitter.com/4bB5LUuFY7

That's how I'm taking it, that his objection is not to the concept of transgender but specifically to Manning's blatant exploitation of it.
-
Hayley & Carolyn - Timeline for that doesn't add up. There's plenty on record of Manning struggling with these issues before enlisting...
-
... so not sure what J is referring to there, but there is no reason to believe she faked it to get better treatment
-
J clearly does believe that though, so his other comment should be taken in context of his entire belief on the subject even if you disagree
-
I don't personally know Manning's situation well enough to say definitively either way.
-
To step back: refusal to use preferred name & pronoun is considered insulting to entire trans community. Try other jokes instead. That's all
