“Being in the military and having a gender issue does not exactly go hand-in-hand,” Capt. Michael Worsley, a military clinical psychologist, told the court. “At the time, the military was not exactly friendly towards the gay community.”

“Worsley diagnosed Manning with a personality disorder and then a “gender identity disorder,” and said the soldier would have faced an agonizing plight in the macho world of the military. “The pressure would have been incredible in an almost openly hostile environment,” He told the court.

“Manning “was supercritical of himself. He was feeling he was never good enough.”
