Manning says military not providing hormone treatment

Chelsea Manning said in a letter released last Friday that the military has not honored her request to begin hormone therapy while incarcerated, despite public assurances to the contrary from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel. 

Manning, who was convicted of violating the Espionage Act last year and is serving a 35-year sentence, accused the military of paying "lip-service" to the request and argues that denying treatment deemed medically necessary constitutes a violation of her rights.
