What is with so many of you referring to Manning with male pronouns

165. That's ridiculous. It has nothing to do with trauma. It has to do with habits.

I suppose after you learned that "flight attendant" was the new "stewardess" you NEVER ONCE EVER used the term stewardess again. And you have called all female actors actors and have not used the term "actress" since 2000. And you never say global warming. You always say climate change. And you say waitperson every single time you are referring to servers. ANd you've never said fireman in your whole life. And ever since someone said to cough in your elbow, you have never once covered your mouth with your hands when you start coughing. WRONG. These habits are ingrained. They are habituated. And they take time to unlearn like every single other habit you have in your life. Mocking people who have called a certain person a "he" for a year because they have not yet been able to change their patterns of thought about that person is just looking to be morally superior. Well, congratulations, I guess you are. And the rest of us are still practicing.
