not AIBU as such, more I think I was U to think that teens now would be different to us, and am shocked they are not.

my DD1 is complaining tonight about her apparently lesbian PE teachers.

I ask why she thinks they are lesbian.

She replied it was because they always walk in and check on them while they are changing for PE/back into uniform.

I remember complaining about the exact same thing when I was an ignorant teen too (altho we complained about them watching us in the shower!).

seems girls really don;t change.

shame really as I thought that teens would be more enlightened than we were back then, but , they are not.

do boys say the same things tho about their games teachers I wonder?????

It's also because they have moustaches, and everyone knows that lesbians are butch-looking (unless they are in porn films)

SerendipitousHarlot · 16/03/2009 21:34

Hahahaha that is so true! I'd forgotten completely about thinking that!

I became good friends with the woman who had been my PE teacher when her youngest and my eldest ended up in primary school together. I did stuggle not to call her Miss X though

It was an interesting evening the first night we went out and got drunk together. I admitted to her that I was suprised she had married and had children as very obviously she was meant to be a lesbian and she replied by saying clearly she wasn't but naming all her colleagues (my teachers) who were

Yep, our PE teacher was always eyeing us up too. She was very butch and demanded we were short skirts for hockey.

TrillianAstra · 16/03/2009 21:44

That's the sort of friends I want, difficult to offend and full of gossip!

'I used to think you were a lesbian'

'Well I'm not but did you know X, Y , and Z are?'

Out of interest, how many of you who went to catholic school had lesbian PE teachers? I always thought the two went hand in hand.

Poledra · 16/03/2009 21:49

I remember thinking this Psycho. A male friend of mine said their PE teachers did the same, and would insist on PE without shirts on at random intervals. This friend has since trained as a teacher (though not PE) and has found out that teachers are looking for signs of physical abuse while prowling round changing rooms - bruises that would not otherwise be seen are obvious.

TaxiDriver · 16/03/2009 21:49

lol
dd aged 11, has the lesbian pe teacher as well

TaxiDriver · 16/03/2009 21:50

i never had those thoughts though strangly about my pe teacher.
must have been too green,
although i am pretty sure they werent anyway, it turns out

TrillianAstra · 16/03/2009 21:50

We had a Maths teacher who insisted on being Ms, not Miss. She wasn't lesbian though, she had a long-term man. I guess she had some anti-marriage thing going on.

Coldtits · 16/03/2009 21:51

My pe teacher was a lesbian.

She really WAS! She got barred from the girl's changing rooms - it was common knowledge she had a female partner, and we didn't want her looking at our tits, in the same way we wouldn't have wanted a man in there, so we complained to the head.

ooh poledra, I never thought that that was the reason they do it.

I just figured it was normal teacher 'keeping an eye on them' stuff (IYGWIM).

I think it's a child protection thing - to check they havent got bruises etc from abuse... but yes we were exactly the same at school too!!

LesbianMummy1 · 16/03/2009 21:56

TrillianAstra I don't have moustache neither does my partner

honeybehappy · 16/03/2009 21:56

Ours were lesbians too.

They used to make us pull back our towels so they could make sure we didnt have our bra on in the shower.

TrillianAstra · 16/03/2009 21:59

I did a LesbianMummy, which has been described earlier as an 'I don't believe you' emoticon. I was ing at how teenagers were so prejudiced and ignorant. No need to do the scary red smiley at me

ilovetochat · 16/03/2009 22:00

one of ours really was a lesbian and was open about her partner. a science teacher (male) had an affair with a pupil and when we went on a field trip an old teacher maybe 60 bought his girlfriend along, she looked 30ish with a tight short skirt on and high heels on a farm and they were off to bed early every night.
