Using absurdity to illustrate absurdity: Can Chelsea Manning be pardoned for crimes committed while 'she' was a man?
"Chelsea Manning, who as Bradley Manning was convicted of espionage and aiding the enemy, is requesting that President Obama pardon "her" for "her" crimes and release "her" from jail. But liberals would agree that Chelsea committed these crimes as a man and maintains that he is a woman now. So, by their logic, how can Manning be pardoned for acts committed when he was a completely different gender, basically a completely different person?

. . . "Not everything has been great for Mr. Manning, of course; he has tried to kill himself several times and was alarmed when his guards were briefly replaced with Arab secret agents. He has also been denied permission to cut off his penis, which upsets him greatly, and is understandable – what woman wants to have a penis hanging around?
Questions for discussion:
1) Could Obama issue two pardons for Manning, one for each gender?" . . .
