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.

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Hey you! would work, too.
The school wants to teach the children to use a plural pronoun when addressing a single person? They got sued for teaching children correct grammar?
If “it” is good enough for animals, “it” is good enough for he-shes.
You can’t make this shit up, this is getting out of hand.
This person didn’t admit to being “transgender” until after she was hired. Administrators probably thought she was just a regular lesbian.
I’d have no problem using “they”. Every time I used they, it’d be followed with “they, you know, the person standing next to me and all the voices in their head”.
Yeah, I think the commie liberals screwed up.
The movement towards sexual perversion in children was part of their plan, but these kids now are so “gender fluid” that none of them will reproduce.
Liberalism can go away very quickly. It just ALWAYS creeps back into the picture.
Islam takes forever to dissipate and it takes forever for it to come back. Muslims are patient though, having no concept of how time works.

(A huge Roman amphitheatre, sparsely attended. REG, FRANCIS, STAN and JUDITH
are seated in the stands. They speak conspiratorially.)
Judith: Any Anti-Imperialist group like ours must *reflect* such a
divergence of interests within its power-base.
Reg: Agreed.
(General nodding.)
Francis?
Francis: I think Judith’s point of view is valid here, Reg, provided the
Movement never forgets that it is the inalienable right of every
man—
Stan: Or woman.
Francis: Or woman...to rid himself—
Stan: Or herself.
Reg: Or herself. Agreed. Thank you, brother.
Stan: Or sister.
Francis: Thank you, brother. Or sister. Where was I?
Reg: I thought you’d finished.
Francis: Oh, did I? Right.
Reg: Furthermore, it is the birthright of every man ...
Stan: Or woman.
Reg: Why don’t you shut up about women, Stan, you’re putting us off.
Stan: Women have a perfect right to play a part in our movement, Reg.
Francis: Why are you always on about women, Stan?
Stan: (pause) I want to be one.
(pregnant pause)
Reg: What?
Stan: I want to be a woman. From now on I want you all
to call me Loretta.
Reg: What!?
Stan: It’s my right as a man.
Judith: Why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?
Stan: I want to have babies.
Reg: You want to have babies?!?!?!
Stan: It’s every man’s right to have babies if he wants them.
Reg: But you can’t have babies.
Stan: Don’t you oppress me.
Reg: I’m not oppressing you, Stan — you haven’t got a womb. Where’s the
fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?
(Stan starts crying.)
Judith: Here! I’ve got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can’t actually
have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody’s fault, not even the
Romans’, but that he can have the *right* to have babies.
Francis: Good idea, Judith. We shall fight the oppressors for your right to
have babies, brother. Sister, sorry.
Reg: (pissed) What’s the *point*?
Francis: What?
Reg: What’s the point of fighting for his right to have babies, when he
can’t have babies?
Francis: It is symbolic of our struggle against oppression.
Reg: It’s symbolic of his struggle against reality.
The bigger enemy is the black robed tyrant that stole the 60k to pay this level one freak. Genital mutilation is not a sex.
Why is this freak, perverse, deviant even allowed near children?””
To sexually abuse and harass them.
For fun go through and rewrite the article using they choice for pronouns.
“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.”
becomes
“meaning ‘they’ does not consider ‘theyself’ to be male or female. After getting breast cancer in late 2014, ‘they’ had ‘they’ breasts amputated to create a more masculine appearance and changed ‘they’ name to Leo.
And the hilarity ensues.
TMF - This Mother (something or other)...
Can you imagine the knots the liberal administration would tie themselves in when someone declares that they are supersex and request that others refer to them using the pronoun master?
The circle of stupidity is almost full loop.
What a waste. She actually looks decently cute in her before picture
I would pull my kid out of that school ASAP. And so should all the other parents.
I wonder what happened to her along the way, that made her feel she couldn't stand being a woman any more? Mental illness o course, but --- was there also some kind of abuse?
It makes me wonder. Poor girl.
If I were a schoolteacher, I'd resist one of my co-workers undermining my lessons on noun-pronoun agreement, too.
Where did you find the before photo? The only one looking like that that I could find had a link back to this thread.
