A “transmasculine” teacher at an Oregon elementary school has been awarded $60,000 by her school district as compensation for harassment she claims to have suffered on the job, including being referred to by the wrong pronoun.
According to The Oregonian, Leo Soell was born a woman, but now prefers to identify as “transmasculine” and “genderqueer,” meaning she does not consider herself to be male or female. After getting breast cancer in late 2014, she had her breasts amputated to create a more masculine appearance and changed her name to Leo. Once she returned from medical school in May, 2015, Soell was fully public with her gender-neutral identity.
Once she returned to work, Soell claims she fell victim to relentless harassment from her co-workers. She says employees persisted in calling her hurtful terms like “Miss Soell,” “lady,” and “she.” If a student asked Soell’s sex, she says she was ordered to reply it was a private matter not suitable for discussion at school.

How does she come up with "They"????? if she ain't any of the above, it doesn't make her multiples - thinking one is multiple makes one seriously mentally ill.....
Perhaps someone should "deem themselves of royal heritage" and require others to use "Sire" or Your Highness" to see how that flies...
Oregon is a very friendly state for individuals who claim they have suffered discrimination based on gender identity. The state’s labor commissioner, Brad Avakian, forced a bakery to pay $135,000 to a lesbian couple they wouldn’t bake a cake for, and he has also compelled a bar owner to pay a whopping $400,000 to a group of transgender customers he tried to ban from his bar.
Eager to avoid meeting a similar fate, district officials agreed to pay Soell $60,000 in compensation for her emotional distress, and they also agreed to adopt a whole battery of new policies to make the district more transgender-friendly. Among other things, the new policy will require all teachers to refer to their co-workers by their preferred names and pronouns, and it will also ensure transgender employees and students have their bathroom needs met. Teachers who refuse to comply with the pronoun command may be fired, the school district warns.
So, I wonder how Leo’s multiplicity would be reflected on their tax return? Would they be able to claim a deduction for one or more of their genders? Or would each of them have to file a separate return? Does each of them get to have their own Socialist Security number?
And “it” is teaching kids?
“...the new policy will require all teachers to refer to their co-workers by their preferred names and pronouns...”

So now, all the teachers have to wear a tag around their neck with their “preferred” name and pronoun boldly printed so no one will make a mistake????
Martin Luther King was marching to bring “it” into the mainstream?
Fire “it” and hire a teacher who is there to teach, not lecture students on nonsense issues.
And we wonder why American schools are failures
I would like independent verification she had breast cancer.
This is a typical ploy to get double mastectomies without having to go through transgender counseling before beginning sexual reassignment surgery (for females to males of course). That and claiming that there is a history of breast cancer in the family so having double mastectomy as a preventative measure.
ARTH Ping
(Apologies in advance to Archie Bunker)
The way the Village People played.
All the fun at the gay parade.
Queers like us we had it made,
Those were the days.
And you knew who you were then.
Girls were girls and so were men.
How we could use a mayor
Like Willie Moscone again.
Didn’t need testing for HIV,
You smiled at everyone you meet.
There was a bathhouse on every street,
Those were the days.
/s (just in case someone thought this was serious... well it is serious and incredibly sad how far we’ve sunk)

Uh oh, I smell another law suit. Somebody's been micro-aggressed. Poor widdle snowflake.
So what do the students being taught by it say when they want to get its attention to ask a question from it?
Freegards
She/He should be referred to as “It”. IMHO
“Why do school districts hire mentally unstable employees to be around kids?”
Because these days, they are the only people qualified to do the job?
I'll call it WTF.
Leo Soell, after
It's body-phobia leading to sexual self-harming. Outrageous, really. It's the same as if a 5'4" 80 pound anorexic teenager were given a gastric bypass because she "felt" she was too fat. How dismayed her friends and family must be; how depressed she'll be when it really hits her what she's done.
And even more outrageous is that everybody else, by force of law, has to affirm and enable this poor woman's irreparable maiming, or suffer severe punitive measures imposed by that repellent tyrant Brad Avakian.
“They” is a PLURAL pronoun. “You” would be more appropriate. Shame on the idiots who spent taxpayer dollars for such stupidity. Shame on the judge for hearing this case. Shame on the ambulance chaser who brought this case. Shame on this brainless twit out for money, anyway SHE can.
Every day I am closer to coming out as trans-specie, because being a bird that can crap on people is very enticing.
if your horse were this f’d up, you’d shoot it.
“they”
Proof positive IT is mentally ill. IT is a single entity so the only “they” is in ITS defective mind.
