School districts across the country are caving to the ridiculous demands of the transgender agenda and it’s starting to get expensive.

Meet 26-year-old Leo Soell (above, middle), a fifth grade teacher at Hall Elementary School in Oregon. Soell underwent a double mastectomy as she battled cancer in the fall of 2014. When she returned that next May, she had decided to stop being Brina and reveal her “true self” and announce that she is transgender and wanted to be addressed by her co-workers in a manner that suited her new identity.

Soell identifies as transmasculine, which means she’s not explicitly male but relates more to masculinity than femininity. Soell also identifies as genderqueer and would prefer to be called by the pronoun “they.”

However, as Soell returned to work, co-workers weren’t obliging the request. Soell recalls being called “hurtful” things like “lady,” “she,” or “Miss Soell” like she had been known from before. The school urged to keep the matter private but Seoll said things were getting worse:

“One teacher screamed at me in the hallway that my gender choice was offensive to God, and teachers regularly lined up to use the school’s only gender-neutral bathroom so I would have to wait a half-hour or more to use it.”

Unsatisfied with the district’s response to these complaints, Soell acquired the services of a lawyer which forced the district to give into the demands and enforce them thoroughly. So, the district now forces all teachers to call fellow workers by their individual preferred pronouns and names. Any that do not will be disciplined, which could include termination.

And besides getting to use the preferred bathroom of choice, Soell collected a $60,000 penalty from the district to make reparations for the perceived harassment.

Soell is now Leo to everyone and is addressed as “they” in class. When smaller children run up and ask, “Are you a boy or a girl?” Soell replies, “I’m just a person.”
