Transgender Teacher Gets $60k After Co-Workers Won’t Call Her ‘They’
dailycaller ^ | May 23, 2016 | Blake Neff

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.

So the mutilant expects to be addressed and referred to with plural pronouns.

Demonic possession.

I think someone like this should be taken out of their misery.

Last paragraph of story:
“...the new policy will require all teachers to refer to their coworkers by their preferred names and pronouns...Teachers who refuse to comply with the pronoun command may be fired, the school district warns.”

Teachers who dare to file lawsuits for wrongful termination, and the attorneys who dare to represent them, will be arrested and sent to the gulag.
Only perverts, and those who accommodate them, will be allowed access to our children.
We keep saying, this is not the hill to die on. Which hill, then?

During the Vietnam war, these pro-communist traitors had to find a way to dodge the draft. What better way than College ?

They would keep joining schools - taking courses in easy bullsh!t like underwater basket weaving. The war ends, and they have no place to go with their “liberal arts” degrees than teaching those same courses.

So now a 35 year old communist is getting ahold of 20 year old college students who are pursuing normal degrees in history, grammar and math. Only now a “master communist” is creating another “master communist” from a younger, more pliant start.

Then THOSE commie students go on to be the Communist Masters of much younger kids - given an almost totally clean slate from which to grow. These are no longer Commie converts - they are communists almost from day 1.

Now that generation is in charge. That’s my generation, Gen X. And they are now in their 40s and 50s and creating super-commies from conception.

Guess what those super commie kids will grow up to be and do ?

Well, don’t think too hard. Because the whole system is imploding. The commies aren’t growing - they are shrinking and their collusion with Islam favors Islam because Islam knows that in order to win, bad people have to keep ****ing bad people and making bad children.

I suspect calling himself Napoleon Bonaparte and demanding to be addressed or referred to as “your/his excellency” wouldn’t have been quite as lucrative.

But just as crazy.

Excellent points. I agree that it’s highly probable that Islam will wipe old-style leftism off the map. Off the planet.

Regardless of any military tactic, strategy or border wars (And I mean ANY) Islam will win through the loins of their women.

If we were to somehow “wipe them out” their kids will need to be dealt with for more than a 100 years - possibly with a second pass at wiping them out.

Birthrates are in a steep decline in the Islamic world, with a few exceptions (Yemen, Pakistan, “Palestine”), but the birthrates of American and European liberals are almost zero. The future belongs to those who show up.

“They” must refer to both people living inside it’s head. That makes “they” a schizophrenic.

I recommend reading the devastating last paragraph in the linked article.
"Eager to avoid meeting a similar fate, district officials agreed to pay Soell $60,000 in compensation for her emotional distress.."
Yup. Extortion, plain and simple.

You spurred a haiku:

Whoever lets it
Near kids commits child abuse
Name them and shame them!

For real: we need to identify the enemies in our schools that allow this travesty. People in high places are pushing this agenda.

So, another haiku:

Trannies have nothing
To do with rights but are tools
Of evil elites

I guess New York needs to change their new bill and add “they” to the list of pronouns you can be fined for if you don’t use the right one.

For one person, *they* is wrong.

*It* would be better.
