this seems fine to me? It's the teacher's body, let them do what they want with it. i kinda feel like you being weirded out is your business.

BREAKING: Oakville Trafalgar High School has come out in defense of a male teacher who has been wearing a massive prosthetic bust, complete with protruding nipples, to class. In an email sent to parents, the school says "gender identity" is protected. reduxx.info/ontario-high-s

Insofar as this person has an autogynephilic kink, they're (arguably) imposing their kink on minors, without their full, informed consent, when they're paid by taxpayers to care for their kids. Which seems wrong, & not consistent with consent norms in BDSM subculture.

i mean putting the taxpayer issue aside, i feel like we wouldn't be having this issue if the autogynephilic kink werent cross-gender? like if a woman who's aroused by being a woman got a boob job, my guess is there'd be a lot less 'omg protect our kids'

Where to draw the line of sexual expression then, if not huge pornographic fake plastic tits? Is a bulging strap-on visibly beneath their clothes also ok for teachers? Obv no. If there is *one* place on earth where adults’ sexual expression should be curtailed, it’s a school

lol im trying to type out a response and keep deleting cause im trying to figure out a way to word my true opinions in a way that won't get me cancelled In general I suspect being exposed to other ppl's sexuality is not as harmful for kids as our culture thinks it is

The aesthetic experience in any public space is everyone's business. If the students are weirded out by their teacher, it's the teachers problem as well.

sure, like the teacher has to deal with the kids reacting differently, and the kids do have a right to react differently, I think just we don't have a right to demand the teacher not do this upon threat of force.

this is so insane. this is exactly everyone’s business, especially when it regards children at school. yes, teachers shouldn’t come into school with prosthetic busts.

I think we need to bring back professionalism as a concept in modern life. The trend has been to dissolve authority gradients and break down boundaries way too much. The teacher-student relationship. The parent-offspring relationship. The boss-employee relationship.

and

I agree with this. Like, the offending outfit is unprofessional. So is showing up to teach dressed up like a clown, or in a black-tie dress, or in a bathing suit.
