On\u00a0day two<\/a>\u00a0of the Pretrial Hearing, David Coombs asked Captain Steven Lim about a 2009 email “PFC Manning<\/strong> wrote to Master Sgt. Paul Adkins<\/strong><\/a> with a picture of himself dressed as a woman…and how his gender identity affects him…[h]ow it impacts his ability to think. Adkins did not share that e-mail with Lim until after Manning was arrested. \u00a0In David Coombs’ closing remarks on the last day of the Pretrial Hearing,\u00a0he read Manning’s email aloud in court:<\/p>\n

“‘This is my problem. I’ve had signs of it for a very long time. I’ve been trying very, very hard to get rid of it. It is not going away. It is haunting me more and more as I get older. Now the consequences are getting harder. I am not sure what to do with it. It’s destroying my ties with family. It is preventing me from developing as a person. It’s the cause of my pain and confusion. It makes the most basic things in my life very difficult.’ He said the only help that seems available is severe punishment. ‘I have a fear of getting caught and have gone to great lengths to conceal my disorder. It is difficult to sleep and impossible to have conversations. It makes my entire life feel like a bad dream that won’t end. I don’t know what to do. I don’t know what will happen to me. But at this point I feel like I am not here anymore.’<\/em><\/p>\n

Signed, Bradley Manning.”<\/em><\/p>\n
