Parents and students at a Canadian school have had mixed reactions to one of the teachers at the school who up until this year has identified as transgender. The teacher in question, identified as a man but now identifies as a woman – this is not the issue parents are having with the teacher – her manner of dressing is. Since the beginning of this year, the teacher has been showing up for class dressed up as a woman with unusually large prosthetic breasts complete with protruding nipples – which has resulted in some children refusing to attend her lessons.
Trans teacher’s enormous fake breast cause outrage
Officials at Oakville High School in Canada are “standing behind” a transgender teacher who has started dressing as a woman for classes this year.
This was after pupils at the school started sharing photos and videos of the teacher dressed as a woman with sizeable prosthetic breasts that comes complete with protruding nipples – causing outrage amongst parents.
The Halton District School Board confirmed that the teacher who is getting “significant attention online” is an Oakville High School teacher.
It has however refused to identify the educator while warning that the wrong person had been named in online reports.
The school board also added that they are “creating a safety plan” for the teacher to “make sure she is protected” and can continue leading classes amid the protests.
‘Clownish and sexist’
Meanwhile angry parents have called for action to be taken against the teacher for what they are calling inappropriate dressing in the classroom.
Employment lawyer Sunira Chaudhry agrees with the angry parents and has called the teacher’s manner of dressing both clownish and sexist.
Speaking to Toronto Sun, she said that if a woman with large breasts showed up to school with a lowcut top and protruding nipples, the school would have taken action.
“It seems sexist to me, because of the exaggerated nature of these breasts with nipples protruding. I think a lot of young women at the school wouldn’t just feel uncomfortable, they’d feel mocked.”
