The move comes as the U.S. military continues to deny imprisoned, transgender Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning permission to grow her hair. Manning is serving a 35-year sentence for giving classified documents to WikiLeaks. Last year, the ACLU filed a lawsuit demanding treatment for Manning’s gender dysphoria, including permission to grow out her hair. While Manning has been granted access to hormones and makeup, on Friday the military ruled she must continue to cut her hair short, citing security concerns. In a message on her Twitter feed, Manning vowed to fight the decision in court.
