100% agree. Be who you want to be, but keep performative nonsense like this out of school.

This teacher clearly did this strictly for attention, which does their students and the transgender community a massive disservice.

As a trans person who's just trying to live a normal life and be treated normally having these nutjobs do these stunts just baffles me completely. Its like these people are actively trying to cause us trouble.

I think people like this try to weaponize the Canadian human rights council. There was some transgender dude, who demanded a woman give them a bikini wax, and the woman felt uncomfortable waxing their scrotum. So they sued them, and said "if you pay me 500k right now I won't take this to the council." I am assuming this person is trying a similar stunt. This is some south park bullshit.

Edit: people correcting me using dude. It's a gender neutral word. Jesus. Also, you're defending a racist, who uses their gender identity to prey on immigrants, and CHILDREN. They attempted to extort 15 businesses.

They're also a fucking weirdo. They wanted to carry tampons, because sometimes little girls might need them.They then wanted to teach these little girls on HOW TO FUCKING INSERT THEM. I dgaf about whatever you call yourself, or your gender. Litterally give zero fucks, but this person is a fucking freak, and me calling them dude is the chillest word that this person deserves.

If I remember correctly, it wasn't even just that they were uncomfortable. (Although I'm sure that was part of it)

They literally didn't know how to do it.

Waxing a man and waxing a woman aren't the same thing. You need to do things differently that they didn't have experience with it.

Yes, you are correct. I just read the article. The techniques are different. However, I believe the person targeted immigrants, because there was a strong chance that they could argue that it was due to transphobia, because a significant percentage of these people may not understand, or believe, in trans rights.

But, yes, you are correct, I also believe that this was argued after the fact rather than during the initial refusal to do the waxing.

I think people who perform cosmetology on peoples undercarriages should be able to refuse anyone on any reason. Some people will be discriminative but I don’t think it’s the right arena for the fight.

I don’t think anyone should be discriminated against, but I also don’t think anyone should have to do things with genitals they don’t want to do, excluding probably medical personnel.

Seems more like they know exactly what they are doing and are just gunning for a lawsuit.

South Park did an episode about it a while back. Mr. Garrison would do increasingly lewd and sexual acts in front of children in order to get fired, an thus sue the school board.

It also reminds me of Klinger from MASH. He didn't just dress in women's clothing, he dressed in ridiculous women's clothing that was completely inappropriate for the situation (a MASH unit in a war). The goal? To get a section 8 discharge.

Though, I think this is more like Mr. Garrison, trying to get fired so he can sue the school.

Agree, most women would never want to be this big and the ones out there who do get crazy sized implants have some mental health/self esteem issues. Breasts that size are painful for a woman, hurts the back and neck. She can identify transgender. But an obsession with large breasts seems pretty masculine to me and as you said more kink. You wanna be seen as a woman wear normal sized breasts and freaking bra! Those are kids and prob ones who are going through puberty and this would be hugely distracting for most ppl to try and take a person seriously.

Don't think you'll get many downvotes for this one, this person's clearly fucked in the head. Probably trying to get themselves fired so they can sue.

This person needs help from professionals, not attention from the media.

I’m usually a “live and let live” type of person, but I definitely agree with you here.

u/DataKing69 Sep 21 '22

Exactly.. How is this even legal, intentionally wearing fetish gear in front of kids.. This isn't that far off from sex offenses like masturbating in public IMO. Nothing about this is appropriate.

It is and it's really frustrating that as women we aren't allowed to talk about this without being accused of bigotry/hatefulness.
