So is antisocial personality disorder.

Correct.

Gender Dysphoria is not classified as a mental illness by the DSM. Dysphoria means distress, and Gender Dysphoria is a label for the distress that transgender people may experience, not for any supposed mental illness. You could experience dysphoria from a stressful work environment. It wouldn't mean you have a mental illness.

It is important to note that gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder. The critical element of gender dysphoria is the presence of clinically significant distress associated with the condition.

Uh huh. http://money.cnn.com/2017/05/16/media/seth-rich-family-respo...

All right, is wikileaks also doing that for political reasons? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/08/10/wikileaks-offers-... . And we're supposed to trust that the family actually knows what really happened?

Quite possibly. After all, they're against leaks when they're aimed at Trump: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/817322050297745408

The supposed bombshell yesterday fell apart, as conspiracy theories tend to do.

Extremely rare and almost exclusive leftists killing people on the right. Like the JFK assassination (JFK was a conservative)

> Extremely rare and almost exclusive leftists killing people on the right. Interesting claim. I'm not sure many people on the left killed doctors for performing abortions, for example. That was mostly "pro life" conservatives, from what I recall. Why are we even talking about this? Partisan politics isn't relevant. Chelsea Manning is free. This is cause for celebration.

He said, /after/ conveniently inserting partisan opinion and contradicting himself.

This is long overdue. Chelsea will probably be doing interviews soon, and since [she's already been pretty outspoken about internet freedoms][1], she may even bring some much needed attention to issues like net neutrality, government surveillance and the never ending erosion of our online rights. Let's hope the media doesn't tear her apart. [1]: https://twitter.com/xychelsea/status/847264510247190532

I'm hoping she takes some time (at least a few months) to visit friends and family and unwind from her time in prison before the media ensnares her, even a little.

Now the question is: will Assange follow up with his promise?

He has since amended his requirements. Listen to his interview here: https://theintercept.com/2017/04/19/intercepted-podcast-juli...

"Amended his requirements" aka "Oh shit, I didn't think you'd actually do it. I was only kidding!"

I don't think political murders targeting individuals are that common in the US. Or am I completely wrong?

How would one know? Because of the media, power balances, legalities etc of US life, they obviously wouldn't be doing them in an open Third World/Banana Republic style (where, depending on the country/political climate, the state doesn't hesitate much to semi-openly get rid of enemies and more or less everybody knows they did it).

There's not much point committing political murder unless people know about it.

Can you please provide some data to support this? I am unaware of any crime statistic that has transgender as an attribute. It is very easy to make broad sweeping statements like yours but to be taken seriously the majority of people prefer data to support those accusations.

While demanding data isn't necessarily a bad thing, you can take it overboard. If you state that the world is round, and I demand that you back up your claim with data, am I not being a bit ridiculous?

I don't think this is obvious at all. At least it isn't for me. It's a bit ridiculous to get so defensive and compare it to asking for evidence the world is round.
