''The teacher's inappropriate attire and enormous prosthetic breasts have created a significant distraction that has led to serious safety concerns for the students and staff at the school,' the crowdfunding page reads. The school has had three bomb threats since September 2022.'

'On Wednesday, the Halton District School Board will vote on a new dress code for teachers, however parents are incensed at the lack of specifics in the ruling, reports The National Post.
...
'The draft policy is yet again an example of the HDSB's inability to develop a policy that will address the issue at hand — dress code and professionalism of teachers to ensure that students attend classes in an environment that is safe and distraction free,' a spokesperson for Students First Ontario, Celina Close, said.'

How ironic though that he has been suspended for dressing 'like a male'.

Unfortunately we've also seen plenty of accounts from male people who find the attention, disapproval, exhibitionist aspects and essentially any response from others to be highly exciting. I'm also reminded of the many who when caught with interesting content on their hard drive, explain how they are nobly researching in order to report and bring down the shocking system.

I'm a cynical old bag at this point. Having pattern recognition skills are a pain.

Yep.

I'm sure there was a video of him at a school board(?) meeting a few months back in which he more or less said that he was doing this to highlight the insanity of the school rules. And, yes, it was my impression that he was hoping to be sacked.

lechiffre55 · 02/03/2023 15:57

A few thoughts. My want for it to be this way is clearly a bias, but I believe that there might be some elements of this.

There are stories saying he was disciplined previously, before all this started. If that's true I can only imagine how smug he feels now having caused so much trouble for those that would have disciplined him. Having to deal with this will be waaaayyyy beyond what any school board has had to deal with before. IF revenge was a motive I cannot imagine giving the school board a bigger FU middle finger than this.

The continual dribs and drabs to keep the story alive, the skydiving, the walking around on crutches, the "they are natural breasts" all happened each time the story died down. It seems to me like someone was trying to keep it in the news and giving it a little boost each time it started to wane. Who would have reason to do that?

He hasn't ( yet ) played the victim, AND the gender borg have been strangely quiet. Both of these things are highly unusual on their own, but combined this seems to be a very strong indidcator that this case is different. Take the inteview where he says the breasts are real, there was no victimhood pity play. Do you know any other absurd case where the victim card didn't get played? e.g. Yaniv
I don't remember the gender borg rushing to support this. The school board have been the only ones toeing the party line, and I think that was for legal protection. If they sack him and he sues, only then do I expect him to play the victim card to bump the settlement.

I have no argument against the "it shouldn't have been done in front of the kids" line.

Clearly I'm biased, but I think this was all a troll for revenge and cash. He's not even gone to the newspapers properly yet. Surely he could get a shit ton of cash for his story. It's already had international coverage around the world. Books tours, raffle off the breasts, TV & you tube appearances, there's still tons of opportunity left in that tank, this guy is now made for life if he wants to exploit it. Any settlement to fuck off and leave the school board alone is going to want an NDA clause. He's going to want to be paid off bigtime not to have fun telling his story........

He now has a job where they are paying him NOT to come into work.
He won.

if he was, as some have asserted (not sure where i saw it) to highlight that the Law is an Ass - he has definitely brought it right out into the open where people who wouldn't normally be interested in laws around Self ID can see it. Can't ignore it, in fact.

It will be interesting to see if this has a knock on, maybe next time Yaniv goes for a bikini wax?

Brefugee · 02/03/2023 15:32

tbh i can see why he might do this, especially since it seems that at all other times he acts like a regular bloke doing regular bloke things. And in that respect alone bringing the absurdity of Self ID laws isn't a Bad Thing.

But.

Doing it like this? Fuck no.

ArabellaScott · 02/03/2023 13:45

I think he just won the jackpot.
They can't sack him. Can you imagine the lawsuit? All the bullshit the school has said previously in support of his unsupported breasts would be used against them in the lawsuit. Lawsuit aside the gender borg would cause even more problems for the school especially if he "I was sacked for being trans!"ed.
He now has a job where they are paying him NOT to come into work.
He won.

Isn't he doing it to highlight the absurdity of Canadian law? I'm sure I read that. If he wins everyone will be in no doubt - all the "be kind" brigade and those who have no opinion because they never encounter trans issues will have to take notice. Even more so than the Yaniv cases.

I've heard that and of course someone is going to say that as it looks very bad otherwise. Don't buy it for a second though. Does it sound likely to you?

Boiledbeetle · 02/03/2023 13:54

At least he's no longer anywhere near children.

ArabellaScott · 02/03/2023 13:45

He's been put on paid leave.

He makes me feel ill, to look at him.

Imagine how the kids must feel!

This sure as hell would have put me off woodwork!

I wish them good luck.

What that man is doing is obscene.

lifeturnsonadime · 01/03/2023 12:36

Well this is interesting. It's hard to see how they can win given the Canadian laws on gender expression. If they lose though it highlights the laws for what they are.

Interesting.

Chersfrozenface · 01/03/2023 07:14

I don't fancy the parents' chances, given Canadian law on gender expression.

I agree but it is an interesting debate on what they could say to safeguard against this. You couldnt say that no one could wear prosthetic breasts because of women who have had mastectomies.

You couldnt say 'no inappropriate wear' because what does 'inappropriate' mean?

They will never say that someone has to dress as their sex, what does that mean in any case but given that gender theory is very regressive and stereotypical this isnt in opposition to that

I wonder how it will pan out

I believe this guy (woodshop teacher) was previously in trouble with the school and this is all a huge trolling effort.

That seems more likely than that he actually wants to "Express himself" this way.

Either way the school are totally failing to handle it properly

The thing is if he is, of course he is, trolling, the fact he thinks it OK to do what he does in front of children indicates he is a very disturbed individual!

IDontWantToBeAPie · 01/03/2023 11:53

Jesus. As a teen or child I'd have felt confused and frightened by that.

What's with the huge breasts without a bra?? Nipples on show?

Disgusting. Any born woman teacher would've been sacked for that immediately.

Are you telling me that your boobs are NOT detachable?

I got the inflatable version, as being cheap I didn't want to pay extra for the removable option!. It's my own fault for being a penny pincher!

Now, like Worzel Gummidge and his heads, I'm imaging a cupboard with lots of different boobs instead of heads.

Ooh meeting with mortgage advisor today. Chooses Medium, non descript C cup boobs. Teaching a classroom full of young impressionable children...yeah I'll go for the totally inappropriate size Z comedy poem breasts. Like porn breasts but they read Lear's poetry out loud every fifteen minutes

What's to bet that the new dress code is mainly aimed at adult human females?

What are Canada's laws on sex discrimination?

And if there are any, how do they interact with laws on gender expression?

Anyway, if a dress code says all teachers must wear, for example, tops with high necks and long sleeves, what's to stop this person or any other wearing prosthetics underneath?

Does it matter if the protuberances in this case are fake? So are silicone implants. So are wigs. All part of gender expression.

I just can't see how it's possible to stop this behaviour under current Canadian law.

Stupid laws, stupid consequences.

It’s not just in his own home, there was an article showing him out and about in normal men’s clothing. He usually saves the boobs for school.
