An elementary school teacher who identifies as transgender — specifically “transmaculine” and “genderqueer” — will be awarded $60,000 from Oregon’s Gresham-Barlow School District for “emotional distress” suffered at the hands of her fellow employees.

Leo Soell “came out” after “they” — the pronoun Soell uses — had a mastectomy in early 2015.
