An elementary school teacher has been awarded $60,000 from her school district as compensation for harassment because her coworkers refused to use the pro-noun “they” when talking about her.

Daily Caller reports that while Leo Soell was born a woman, she prefers to identify as “transmasculine” and “genderqueer.” This apparently means that she doesn't have a gender.



In 2014, she had breast cancer and had her breasts amputated. With a more masculine appearance she changed her name to Leo and returned to school in 2015 where she says she was subject to ridicule.

Leo claims she was called hurtful names such as “miss” and “she”. If a student asked about Leo's sex, she was ordered to say that it was a private matter not suitable for discussion at school.



Soeli even claimed that some teachers planned to use the school’s only gender-neutral bathroom so she would have to wait a half-hour for her turn to use it.



An internal investigation conducted by the school found no proof of Soeli's alleged harassment.

However, despite the school agreeing to have Soeli referred to by the pronoun “they”, she said the harassment didn't stop and hired an attorney.



Oregon is the same state that fined a Christian bakery $135,000 for refusing to bake a gay wedding cake for a Lesbian couple. So, in order to prevent a similar fate, the school district agreed to pay Soeli $60,000.



In addition, the school district decided to introduce new policies to make the district more transgender-friendly, including requiring all teachers to refer to their co-workers as their preferred pro-noun.
