Peter Boghossian tweeted this today: Not much is known about this teacher, but according to the Toronto Sun, the unnamed teacher works for one of the Halton District Schools, on the fringes of the Greater Toronto Area. The linked article shows several photos of the teacher, who apparently teaches shop class. The article states:

I’ll go out on a limb here and guess that this teacher has issues that go far beyond inappropriate dress. Nobody with a normal psyche and ego does this.
We are fast moving toward a society led by the mentally ill and the senile.
I completely agree with you that a female teacher would not get away with wearing these giant fake breasts. The outfit is inappropriate for anyone, and that’s the only argument we should need.
But at the same time, the part no one wants to say out loud (except terfs) is that it’s even more inappropriate because this person is biologically male. In this context, it screams sexual fetish—while a biological woman wearing something like this might have body dysmorphia or other mental illness. If some students are more uncomfortable around this individual than they would be around a biological woman wearing the same thing… I think that’s valid because it is different.

"The school board, for its part “is ‘standing behind’ an ‘accepted’ transgender teacher.… Protecting any person’s ‘gender rights’ is ‘the stance the school board is taking and they are standing behind the teacher,’ said Shuttleworth.”
Let's be honest, they're probably standing behind her because it's far less distracting than standing in front of her...
I agree with you: this goes beyond the confines of "gender" and pours over into the domain of professionalism. But I think it's even worse, this is an issue of sexual exhibitionism--with children being forced to participate in this man's fetish. This man has absolutely no place working with children in any capacity, regardless how effective a teacher he may or may not be. His lack of judgment in this instance is so egregious that it overrules any other considerations you could reasonably take to justify his merit as a teacher. I'm absolutely aghast that any administrators or school board members, let alone any of the parents, have defended this individual.
What is it about "gender" that allows men such as this carte blanche to parade themselves about in such abject sexual objectification of women? Why is this celebrated and defended when the same behavior in women would be rebuked, with scorn and judgment, instantly? What are the young women who are students at Oakville going to take away from this? With the sudden influx of ROGD in young women who are uncomfortable with the changes in their bodies and their own objectification, I can easily see this man's grotesque caricature of womanhood serving as a potential catalyst.
Let's be honest, this is beyond insane. If I were a woman, I would be outraged and insulted by this behavior. As a parent and teacher, I find it disgusting. I personally don't care what people do in their private lives; it is none of my my business. But, I am concerned about the social unraveling that's going on.
“But some women have enormous breasts!” Yes, they do, but 1) they also wear appropriate undergarments (unless they’re in a porn film) and 2) those are neither real breasts nor even implants.
Totally with you on this. It's the same rules for all or no rules at all.
It is unacceptable that we allow one group to do what we allow no one else just because its members claim it makes them so terribly, terribly sad if the rules that apply to all apply to them, too.
In recent years we have accepted and adopted, grudingly or enthusiastically, much stricter rules on what's considered sexually appropriate behavior. There are ongoing discussions in many industrialized countries about whether to tighten the rules here and there, ranging from penal codes to rules for sexual harassment at the workplace or in schools.
One group - or at least many of its members - just claims to be excempt from the new rules and the old rules alike. They say they can not adhere to them because they are oh so special and oh so vulnerable. If they have the same rights and obligations as everyone else, they say, their rights are being violated. And there are political movements who openly support this extreme sense of entitlement.
It's amusing that it doesn't seem to occur to anyone that this guy is running a long troll. He's successfully gotten the school board to put out an official communique defending his right to wear triple Z cup fake tiddies (while in a pink mask no less), after garnering international attention for the stunt. They look like idiots in front of students, parents, and the global public. By extension, so do the gender schizos whose reign of terror has scared the board into loudly supporting him. It's possible he's for real but it just seems too over the top.

The article says she teaches industrial arts. She should really be teaching physics, because those things are big enough to generate their own gravitational field! If they were any bigger, you wouldn't be able to see them at all because of the event horizon!
Thank you! This is such a sensible response, and it is crazy to me that everyone is arguing about a different issue. The real issue is professional attire for work and school, and there is no way that that outfit makes the cutoff. Of course, I was raised by my schoolteacher mom and school principal dad, so I am keenly aware of what is considered appropriate clothing for school!
I also commend you for your compassion for the teacher--for willing to extend the benefit of the doubt.

Of course I don't really know, but I suspect this person is really not Trans and is instead trolling the school board demonstrating what happens when "self-identification" is the sole criteria for a "gender-identity."
I mourn the passing of dress codes! I mourn the passing of school uniforms. I mourn the passing of teachers being held to a strict moral code. I mourn the passing of treating sexual perverts, well, like the deviant, sexual perverts they are! I mourn that adults that expose such sexual deviancy to children are no longer locked up. I mourn that today's children are forced to suffer through classes while they are obviously confused, distressed, bewildered, titilated, not knowing what's going on, or what to think, while adults parade every known sexual perversion in front of them instead of teaching them the basics of math, science, reading, etc. Parents, take your schools back! I'll bet the reading, math, and science scores are in the toilet at this school as they are in every other school that allows this nonsense to be shown to our children.
It makes me very angry that defending common sense makes you look like a reactionary, troll, or curmudgeon.
Well, there go all my outfits...

Agree with you on this one. Also, it makes fun of the gender the person is trying to assume.

Just checking, are these things just strapped on or are they Dolly Parton style.
That would make a difference, no?
Moving on, so a big dildo would be okay too,
