Franklin Graham shared his distaste with the decision to give an Oregon school teacher $60,000 after she filed a complaint regarding her gender identity. 

Leo Soell, the Oregon school teacher who formerly identified as a woman, is now identifying as "they," and she is making sure everyone else will call her as such. 

Graham recently posted a status on Facebook saying, "Misgendered? …That's incredible! Use "correct" pronouns? Doesn't a person's DNA or birth certificate count for anything? Shouldn't fact override fantasy? God created people male and female." 

Soell told the Portland Tribune, "I had all this privilege to now have a body that fits my gender and even the ability to buy clothes that fit my gender. Not everyone can do that. ... I match up quite a lot with my gender, but people still misgender me," Soell said. "So then I think about a kid who's living in a conservative, rural community who has no access to any of this and what their life must be like."

Evangelist Franklin Graham has had a lot to say about the transgender directive overall and especially when it comes to President Obama. Graham asked if Obama considered himself as the "sultan of Washington" who believes he can make any decree he wants. 

Graham also accused the president as a man who has no fear of God, and that God made humans as male and female. He believes that opening the bathrooms to the transgender groups will only help to open up the bathrooms to perverts and sexual predators, according to World Religion News
