Chelsea Manning has epic response to Twitter troll

Chelsea Manning completely owned a Twitter troll who sent her a violent message on the social media site.

The transgender activist, who posed for a profile in the coveted September issue of Vogue, is constantly on the receiving end of rude and vicious messages ever since she released sensitive government documents related to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars in 2013 while working as an Army intelligence analyst.

As a result of her actions, she received a message on Monday night from a Twitter user who told her ‘You should have been shot for treason.’ 

But Manning’s clever response was priceless. 

The 29-year-old wrote: ‘instead i (sic) got shot for @voguemagazine #WeGotThis’.

Manning spent seven years of her 35-year prison sentence confined and was freed from prison earlier this year after her sentence was commuted by former President Barack Obama. 

Since being released, Manning has used her newfound platform to raise awareness to the injustices in the trans and gender-nonconforming communities. 

The Oklahoma native most recently blasted President Donald Trump for his controversial ban on transgender people in the military. 

Manning opened up about her feelings in a Yahoo Beauty essay published on Wednesday where she wrote that she would have been ‘better’ at her military job had she already come out as transgender.

‘I loved my job and I took my military career very seriously,’ Manning wrote.

‘There’s this idea out there that, had I not been trans, the leaks and stuff would never have happened. But to my mind those are two completely separate things. 

‘Had I been out, I think I still would have been attracted to the military, but I would have been more comfortable and gotten along with people better. 

‘Being closeted often put me in situations where I couldn’t concentrate or even think straight.’

She added, ‘I loved my job, and had I been out, I think I would have been even better at it.’

The 29-year-old also noted ‘private circles of conversation’ that made her feel uncomfortable during her military time.

‘They’d say ridiculous, raunchy things about women,’ Manning wrote. 

‘I’d try to avoid those kinds of macho conversations because that’s inevitably what would come up. I’d get very, very distant.’
