my own version of the story, my first draft of history, if you will, hasn't been, you know, talked about as much.
my story, my coming of age story, really, you know, for just trying to tell the story of how I became who I am today, has been kind of left out of the picture.
I wanted another person like me to feel as informed as I did, finally, about the true reality. I mean, that's why I call it readme.txt because that is the document.

Chelsea Manning discusses her memoir, "README.txt", which details her experience as a whistleblower and the largest intelligence leaks in American history, as well as her transition. She explains that she wanted to tell her side of the story, which she felt had been left out of the public narrative.
I think that it's the fact that my own version of the story, my first draft of history if you will, hasn't been talked about as much.
But I feel like my story, my coming of age story really, you know, for trying to tell the story of how I became who I am today has been kind of left out of the picture. And so I wanted to tell that story.
I wanted another person like me to feel as informed as I did finally about this true reality.
