Would you want your child to be taught by someone who looked like this?

Aside from the sexual inappropriateness of it, if Trans Women Are Women then would any other woman get away with wearing gigantic prosthetic breasts and skin-tight cycling shorts to work in this school? It's just another example of women and girls having to live with the consequences of society saying TWAW while simultaneously thinking of them and treating them as a special caste of men.

A woman typically wouldn't get a breast enlargement that big unless she was working in the porn industry and/or showing them off online. You can also see nips in every photo.

That the school can't say this is deeply inappropriate beggars belief.

For the students, I'd struggle in that class to take it seriously, kids are distracted by far less.

@MrsOvertonsWindow
Her application to the Human Rights Tribunal was refused the first time she tried to lodge it & though she was granted leave to try again it was with strict additional criteria (unsure as to what). They apparently began a hearing in February 2018 but no decision has ever been published. Possibly the university paid her off to get her to withdraw the complaint; or she went out of bounds & got binned… I’m not sure if the Tribunal could suggest mediation at that stage, but if she agreed to mediation rather than going straight into litigation & worked something out there, no decision would appear either. (I quite like they offer mediation; but yes, they’re a completely captured institution.)

That dude living his life

children seeing that dude living his perverted life and teaching them

and all the adults too frightened to say do one you pervert

how did it come to this ?

Friend's DS thinks it's hilarious. Not sure how I feel about that.

It's terrible. I'm going to struggle to articulate this but school boys (and girls) learning about awful stereotypes like this is terrible for women and for those men who might want to live a quiet life as what used to be known as a transsexual and also for women. Especially women with an unfashionable body type. I can't explain clearly why I think this is so bad for the young boys and girls at this school and God knows my teenage self and friends would have been merciless with the jokes but in these days of stereotyping and pushing young children who don't conform into a medical pathway this is really unhelpful.

My BF DC attends this school.
It is 100% legit.
I despair.

I, for one, feel deliriously happy with
shit like this.

They just love hanging themselves, don't they?
They've already made bespoke ropes & nooses.
Pissed themselves in the process too.
We (and I mean everybody) need to see this
kind of TRA clusterfucks on a daily basis.
Educate oneself, right?

This is what an "oppressed & marginalized"
minority looks like. How it behaves.
Happy to join?
Eager to become "an ally"?
Keen on shredding the "cotton ceiling"?
Well, then crack on and take your part in
the social justice struggle.
Victory is yours and it looks precisely like that.
Very tasty, indeed.
Both aesthetically and ethically pleasing;
which is what we all want:
beauty and goodness personified.
Hallelujah.

Poor kids.

Ha, I am not surprised it is in Oakville. I imagine many of the parents would be terrified to embrace wrongthink.

Something I will add is that I don't think safeguarding training is as advanced in Canada as in the UK. Obviously there are rules and people think it's important, but elements of it are less explored. IMO.

I am not sure . You can go on the website for the school and the teacher Is there and the school have made a statement .

The fact that there are so many sources affirming it to be true isn't going to help matters either.

Yep, that's kind of it, isn't it?

"Are you a teenage girl, uncomfortable with her body? You're a boy!"

"Are you a grown man who gets turned on at the idea of wearing a short skirt and giant prosthetic breasts in public? You're a woman!"

I can't imagine this teacher's gender "expression" sitting all that well with some people's religion.

I don't know about this guy, but I think some of these men really think what they feel is "womanhood" of some kind.

Particularly if they are also inclined to narcissism to some degree, or are not all that bright, or maybe in some cases are too bright without being properly empathetic.

The fact that there are so many sources affirming it to be true isn't going to help matters either.

No, gender expression and body size does not allow for totally inappropriate dressing in the workplace. Millions of people managing this while being appropriate at the same time, it's not difficult.

That email is very believable as a response if this is true, typical school arse-covering. In the unlikely event coverage goes mainstream it could finally peak more Canadians.

If that's true ...

'Regardless of body type/size'

For the love of god, can we call this pathetic gaslighting out? 🤦‍♀️

School's 'faculty' page is no longer showing the teacher's name. It was there yesterday.

Looks pretty as you'd expect, ScreamingMeMe.

That just cannot be for real.

This is allegedly an email from the school.

There was a little bit in the latest Mess We're In - I believe it was in response to the Canadian Green Party pronoun crisis, but it fits this too:

Arty: Yeah, but Canada's taking the hard road. They're not taking the, like, smart-people-stopping-the-bus-before-it-goes-off-the-cliff road, they're, like, crashing into the ground off the cliff, and then realising there was a cliff, you know? They're like, let's go over this cliff and then see how painful it is. That's the Canada way.

Graham: The bus is on fire and they're kind of going like this - "hmmm".

@Datun Unfortunately anyone who stood in politics for that would instantly be called "far-right".
