Chelsea Manning, the transgender soldier just released from prison, posted a new photo on social media Thursday, debuting her new look as a woman. 

Manning, formerly known as Pvt. Bradley Manning, was released Wednesday from prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Within hours, she posted photos on Instagram and Twitter, re-introducing herself saying “Okay, so here I am everyone!!” 

She is back on active duty because her court-martial conviction for leaking documents to Wikileaks is under appeal.
