I'm a little confused by this:

    The Human Rights Campaign — an advocacy group for gays, lesbians and transgendered people — said there is “a clear legal consensus” that the U.S. government should cover the cost of sex-change operations for federal prisoners if the treatment is medically necessary.

Did the Human Rights Campaign say that in relation to Manning's case? What makes her gender reassignment surgery medically necessary?
